National Republicans have insisted for months that they have a top-tier Senate candidate on deck to take on two-term Democratic incumbent Tammy Baldwin in November. As of this afternoon, he’s finally in the race.

Wisconsin banking executive and real-estate developer Eric Hovde formally announced on Tuesday his Republican candidacy for U.S. Senate in 2024, heating up a down-ballot battleground race in what’s expected to be one of the most competitive Senate and presidential battlegrounds of the cycle.
