Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), Decision Desk HQ projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hovde defeated two minor candidates, farmer Charles Barman and chair of College Republicans at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point Rejani Raveendran, to win the primary. He will now face Baldwin in what will be a key Senate race that Democrats need to win to hold their narrow majority in the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hovde will have access to significant financial resources, having largely self-funded his campaign so far. He is a multimillionaire who made his money through a career in banking. He loaned his campaign $13 million of the $16.7 million total he has raised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hovde previously ran for the Senate seat in 2012, losing narrowly in the Republican primary to former Gov. Tommy Thompson (R), who lost the general election to Baldwin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few major Wisconsin Republicans ruled out running for the seat against a popular incumbent before the party coalesced around Hovde. Then-Rep. Mike Gallagher and Reps. Bryan Steil and Tom Tiffany all decided against seeking the seat before Hovde threw his hat in the ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hovde received endorsements from former President Trump, the Senate GOP\u2019s campaign arm and Wisconsin Republicans like former Gov. Scott Walker, Tiffany and Steil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Hovde will have an uphill battle running against Baldwin, who is running for her third term. Baldwin has mostly led in polling and has a roughly 7-point lead in the average from The Hill\/DDHQ.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Businessman Eric Hovde has won the Republican nomination for Senate in Wisconsin, setting up a matchup with Sen.
