Contenders in key Wisconsin Senate race come out swinging after primaries

Associated Press

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Republican millionaire businessman Eric Hovde and Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin are wasting no time going after one another.

Hovde is banking on his deep pockets and an endorsement from former President Donald Trump to knock off Baldwin, a liberal Democrat who has honed her ability to appeal to key independent and moderate voters. Hovde faced only nominal opposition in Tuesday’s primary and has been focused on Baldwin since he got into the race.
