Republican businessman Eric Hovde has yet to concede the Wisconsin Senate race to Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI). He has not made a public statement since the day after the election last week, nor has he requested a recount in the race.
Senate Democrat Tammy Baldwin won re-election Tuesday because she outperformed her party’s standard-bearer, Kamala Harris, across most of Wisconsin, but especially in smaller counties where former President Donald Trump made his biggest gains and in election wards with lower incomes and lower rates of college education.
Hovde has also not requested a recount of votes, though he is eligible to do so. On Tuesday Nov. 12, officials start gathering in each Wisconsin county to begin certifying election results, meaning the window of time for Hovde to request a recount is approaching.
Unofficial results show about 73% of Wisconsin’s voting-age population cast ballots in the 2024 presidential race, with the raw number of voters topping out at the highest in state history.
As of about 4 p.m. Tuesday, at least 3,415,306 Wisconsinites had voted in the presidential election, per the Associated Press. That's with 99% of the vote reported and not including write-in votes for president, meaning the final voter total will be higher.
