MADISON, Wis. (AP) — It was too early to declare a winner Wednesday in Wisconsin’s hotly contested U.S. Senate race that pit two-term Democratic incumbent Tammy Baldwin against Republican Eric Hovde.

Republicans seized control of the U.S. Senate late Tuesday after flipping Democratic held seats in Ohio and West Virginia.
