The numbers behind his loss add up only if one recognizes that a cryptographic algorithm manipulated the outcome. The Democrats may have made a significant mistake in their all-too-obvious attempt to steal a U.S. Senate seat from GOP candidate Eric Hovde. As Hovde explained in a November 12 video, in the early hours of November 6, 2024, he received congratulatory calls for his apparent win. Then, suddenly, by 4:00 am, “a staggering 108,000 absentee ballots were dumped from Milwaukee, with two-term incumbent Senator [and [Democrat candidate]Tammy Baldwin receiving nearly 90 percent of those votes.” Hovde objected: “Statistically, this outcome seemed...

Republican Senate candidate Eric Hovde has officially conceded the Wisconsin Senate race to incumbent Democrat Tammy Baldwin. Hovde’s statement came amidst mounting allegations of election fraud in Wisconsin. Hovde, a businessman and first-time Senate candidate, had been a formidable contender, focusing his campaign on key conservative priorities like fiscal responsibility, border security, and law enforcement support. On election night, early projections showed Hovde with a commanding lead. However, over 108,000 absentee ballots were dumped in Milwaukee at 4:00 AM, with Senator Tammy Baldwin receiving nearly 90% of those votes.

Eric Hovde makes first statement in 6 days. Hovde was leading most of the night over Tammy Baldwin until a late night drop from Milwaukee.

The Democratic incumbent was leading in the polls and favored to hang onto her seat. Her GOP opponent, Eric Hovde, CEO of a $3 billion bank, was on the defensive after tens of millions in Democratic attacks over his vast wealth and past comments. And she had a new nominee atop the Democratic ticket, with Kamala Harris injecting fresh energy into one of the nation’s most evenly divided battlegrounds. But then the GOP zeroed in on a new line of attack. In the run-up to Election Day, Republicans have put a spotlight on Baldwin’s same-sex relationship and the career of...

MADISON, Wis. -- Vice President Kamala Harris will hold a rally on the UW-Madison campus next week with multiple musical acts, a campaign spokesperson confirmed Friday. The visit, scheduled for Wednesday, is part of the Harris-Walz campaign's "Get Out the Vote" Concert and Rally series. Harris will be joined by Gracie Abrams, Mumford & Sons, Remi Wolf, and The National’s Matt Berninger and Aaron Dessner. A time for the event and specific location on campus were not immediately announced. The campaign hopes the artists can use their voice to connect with fans and encourage them to vote. Those looking to...

Democrat Senate candidates in key swing states are pleading to Trump voters for support – a bad sign for their own campaigns and a flashing warning sign to Kamala Harris. In Michigan, Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) is openly courting voters who support Trump. In Pennsylvania, Sen. Bob Casey’s (D-PA) campaign released an ad showing Donald Trump signing a bill in the Oval Office, with the narrator touting Casey sided with Trump on his historic trade deal ending NAFTA. And in Wisconsin, leftwing Sen. Tammy Baldwin’s (D-WI) campaign released an ad broadcasting her alignment with Trump on trade policies. Candidates on...

Wisconsin's Senate race between incumbent Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin and Republican businessman Eric Hovde was reclassified as a "toss-up" by a major election forecaster on Tuesday, less than a month to Election Day. Baldwin has been viewed as favored in the Badger State, which remains viewed as a toss-up in the presidential race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. But the Cook Political Report reclassified it from "Lean Democrat" to a "toss-up" after their latest poll showed her lead shrink to only two points, within the margin of error. Baldwin and Hovde are facing off in...

A top political handicapper shifted its rating for the Wisconsin Senate race on Tuesday to "Toss Up" with less than a month until Election Day. The race in Wisconsin, a pivotal battleground state in both the presidential and Senate matches, was most recently considered "Lean Democrat" by the Cook Political Report. The handicapper cited changes in polling in recent days, with Hovde appearing to close the gap with Baldwin. But Cook also referred to private polling from both campaigns, which it said each showed the race within the margins of error. A source familiar confirmed to Fox News Digital that...

Senate Republicans are hopeful they can unseat Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) after two previous failed attempts. Their confidence largely comes from their faith in businessman Eric Hovde, who is expected to enter the race next month.

WASHINGTON — The Senate on Tuesday passed landmark legislation that would codify federal protection for marriages of same-sex and interracial couples, with Democrats securing enough votes to overcome opposition from most Republicans. The Respect for Marriage Act was approved 61-36, with unanimous support from Democrats and 12 GOP votes after defeating a filibuster and rejecting three amendments offered by Republicans who oppose the bill. The measure now returns to the House for a final vote before it can go to President Joe Biden, who is expected to sign it into law. The Senate vote reflects the rapidly growing public support...

President Joe Biden reacted to the “not guilty” verdicts from the jury in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial on Friday. “While the verdict in Kenosha will leave many Americans feeling angry and concerned, myself included, we must acknowledge that the jury has spoken,” Biden said in a statement released by the White House. The president said he would continue working to “heal our country’s wounds” until “every American is treated equally, with fairness and dignity.” He called for protests of the verdict

We are each of us ultimately responsible only for ourselves and our own actions, yet the degree to which we may be held accountable for the misdeeds of others apparently varies by political party affiliation. On Wednesday, The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel published on its website what can only be described as a hit piece on Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson in which reporters Molly Beck and Patrick Marley highlighted the fact that Johnson is “taking fire from a liberal group for accepting more than $13,000 from a Washington state business owner who refused to hire Muslims and replied to emailed jokes...

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) are demanding swift action to protect transgender migrants attempting to enter the United States. In an eight-page letter to Trump administration officials, the senators implore the administration to reverse immigration policies they consider harmful to transgender migrants and other vulnerable populations. The policies they want reversed? All of them! The populations they consider vulnerable? All of them! "We write to express alarm over reports detailing the abuse and neglect of trans gender migrants and asylum seekers at the border and in U.S. custody," the letter states. "We ask you to immediately...

Democratic primary voters are looking for a wide range of disparate things in their party’s 2020 standard-bearer. For some, the top priority is to nominate a progressive who boasts a long record of supporting single-payer health care, standing up to the financial industry, and championing organized labor. And many just want a nominee who will definitely beat Trump. Unfortunately, there is no Democratic 2020 hopeful who checks all of these boxes at once. But there could be. What if there were a Democratic politician who had been championing single-payer health care for two decades, and calling for a ban on...

This year’s high-stakes midterm elections are fast approaching, and much ink has been spilled about a surge in women candidates running for office. Unfortunately, most of the hype has focused on only one type of woman: anti-Trump, pro-abortion, and angry about it. What about the millions of women and men who are eager to see more protections for unborn children and their mothers – who revere the Constitution and want more fair, impartial judges like Justice Kavanaugh appointed? Who is running to represent folks who not only decline the pink hats and handmaid outfits, but are happy about the direction...

Watched debate between Leah and Tammy for senator. Leah was amazing. Google it and you can listen for yourself. Can’t believe polls have Tammy up. Too bad most people who vote are so uninformed. Leah would make a much better senator.

Democrats are planning to force a vote in the Senate this week on overturning a Trump administration rule expanding non-ObamaCare insurance plans. The Democratic resolution, which will likely get a vote on Wednesday, would overturn a rule finalized in August that expanded the availability of short-term health insurance plans. Democrats decry the plans as “junk” insurance because they does not need to cover pre-existing conditions or follow other ObamaCare rules. Republicans argue the plans provide a cheaper option alongside ObamaCare plans. The resolution, which is supported by all 49 Senate Democrats, is unlikely to pass given that it would need...

CBS News has obtained an invitation to a fundraiser for incumbent Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wisconsin in Washington, D.C. on Monday, October 1, hosted by Brett Kavanaugh accuser Dr. Christine Blasey Ford's attorneys, Debra Katz and Lisa Banks, along with liberal political action committee "End Citizens United." Ford's lawyers' remarks and statements on her behalf have largely been in line with those of Democrats on the Judiciary Committee. According to the Baldwin campaign, the event was scheduled before Ford's allegations against Kavanaugh were made public. Her lawyers, the campaign says, are no longer involved in the event. As of Thursday morning,...

Republican state Sen. Leah Vukmir trails Democratic U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin by just two points according to a Marquette University Law School poll released Wednesday. Baldwin leads Vukmir 49-47 percent among likely voters, but among registered voters, Baldwin is ahead by eight points. Vukmir defeated businessman Kevin Nicholson in the Republican primary election on Aug. 14. Before her victory, 66 percent of voters said they didn't know enough about her to have an opinion. That's down to 48 percent now. Among those registered voters who do have an opinion, 25 percent view Vukmir favorably, while 26 percent vie
