.SenatorBaldwin announced she is seeking a third term and will run for reelection in 2024, the latest Democratic incumbent to announce a campaign as the party braces itself for a battle to keep its narrow Senate majority.
Baldwin announced her reelection campaign on Wednesday, stating she is committed to helping the working class.“I’m committed to making sure that working people, not just the big corporations and ultrawealthy, have a fighter on their side,” Baldwin said in a statement via the Washington Post. “With so much at stake, from families struggling with rising costs to a ban on reproductive freedom, Wisconsinites need someone who can fight and win.
Protasiewicz's win gives Democrats a one-vote majority on hot-button subjects such as gun control and abortion, as well as redistricting and the 2024 presidential race. However, Baldwin has proven her resiliency against Republican opponents since she defeated four-term former Gov. Tommy Thompson for the open Senate seat in 2012. With her win, she became the first woman and openly gay person to represent Wisconsin in the Senate. Last cycle, in 2018, she won reelection by over 10 percentage points.
