Wisconsin voters reject GOP-written ballot measures, US Senate race set with Hovde’s primary win

0

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin voters have decided against two constitutional amendments passed by the Republican-controlled Legislature that would have taken power away from the governor. Wisconsin voters also have set the field in a closely watched Senate contest, with Republican businessman Eric Hovde easily winning Wisconsin’s Republican Senate primary on Tuesday. Hovde will face Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin in November. The power of former President Donald Trump’s endorsement will also be tested in a Republican congressional primary and Democrats will decide on a candidate in a swing House district to take on a GOP incumbent. The election is also the first under new legislative maps more favorable to Democrats.
