Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel

On a night when Republicans swept races around the country, Baldwin declared victory early Wednesday morning, saying she had bucked the red tide by eking out a narrow win over GOP challenger Eric Hovde to secure a third term in the U.S. Senate.

“It is clear that the voters have spoken and our campaign has won,” Baldwin said in a statement. “The people of Wisconsin have chosen someone who always puts Wisconsin first, someone who shows up, listens, and works with everyone to get the job done.”

With 98.6% of the votes counted, Baldwin led Hovde by 49.3% to 48.6% — a margin of 25,614 votes — in a race that drew attention and big bucks from around the country. Absentee ballots had not yet been tabulated in Oak Creek, and officials had not counted all votes in Oshkosh. More
