Wisconsin senator Tammy Baldwin could have a tough reelection fight in 2024: The Cook Political Report, Larry Sabato's Crystal Ball and other election observers rate the race as "Lean D" rather than "Solid D," and one May poll (admittedly from a GOP polling firm) showed Baldwin losing to a generic Republican by 3 points.

PPPs newest Wisconsin Republican primary poll finds 52% want Sheriff [David] Clarke to be their Senate nominee next year compared to 7% for Eric Hovde and 6% for Scott Mayer. In head to heads Clarke leads Hovde 51-10 and Mayer 52-6.
Clarke ... has 65% name recognition and 52% see him favorably to 13% with a negative opinion.
