Tammy Baldwin holds a slim lead over Republican challenger Eric Hovde. With unofficial results reported Wednesday morning, Baldwin\u2019s lead stood at 0.9%, just within the 1% threshold that would allow Hovde to request a recount, provided he covers the cost.<\/p>\n<p>Hovde, who is backed by President-elect Donald Trump, has been campaigning vigorously to flip the seat to Republican control. However, Baldwin, a two-term incumbent, has worked to maintain her position in the state, which is a key battleground in the broader national contest for Senate control.<\/p>\n<p>If the results remain within the margin for a recount, it could add further uncertainty to an already intense race. As ballots continue to be counted, both campaigns are keeping a close eye on the numbers, with Hovde\u2019s team closely monitoring the possibility of triggering a recount.<\/p>\n<p>Baldwin\u2019s campaign expressed confidence that the remaining votes would be favorable, but both sides are preparing for the possibility of a legal and procedural battle to settle the outcome of one of the most closely-watched Senate races of the 2024 election cycle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If the results remain within the margin for a recount, it could add further uncertainty to an already intense race.
