But Republicans have invested more heavily than Democrats in advertising down the stretch, with $21 million in spots reserved between Monday and Nov. 5 compared to $15 million in spots reserved by Democrats. Almost two-thirds of the new GOP spending comes from the Senate Leadership Fund, the political action committee led by Senate Minority Leader“The momentum’s on my side,” Hovde said last week at a forum in Milwaukee. “I plan to win this race.
“Wisconsin’s always been on a knife’s edge,” Zimmerman said. “Fifty-fifty elections are the rule here, and she’s always been the exception. What you’re seeing here is a return to that principle.” To bolster her bipartisan bona fides, Baldwin earned the endorsement from the conservative Wisconsin Farm Bureau for her work benefitting the state’s agriculture and dairy industries, making her the first Democratic candidate in a statewide race to win it in more than 20 years.
She's also hit him on past statements he's made voicing opposition to abortion rights and his support for returning the federal budget to 2019 levels, which Democrats says will results in massive cuts to popular programs like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and veterans benefits. Hovde casts Baldwin, who has been in elected office for nearly 40 years, as a career politician who hasn't done enough to secure the border or help the economy. He accuses her of dodging voters by agreeing to only one debate, which is to be broadcast live on Friday night.
