Democratic U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin won reelection to a third term representing Wisconsin on Wednesday. Baldwin's win was key for Democrats in their hopes to maintain majority control of the Senate. She defeated Republican millionaire businessman Eric Hovde, who was making his second run for Senate, having previously lost in the 2012 Republican primary. Baldwin argued that Hovde was disconnected from Wisconsin, given that he owns a multimillion-dollar estate in California. She also hammered Hovde over his prior opposition to abortion rights. Baldwin was first elected to the Senate in 2012. The Associated Press declared Baldwin the winner at 1:42 p.m. EST.
