Republican candidate Eric Hovde officially conceded the Wisconsin Senate race to Sen. Tammy Baldwin on Monday. Hovde had previously acknowledged his loss but had not made a formal concession until now. The race was projected in favor of Baldwin the day after Election Day.
In a video statement released on Monday, Hovde expressed concerns about absentee ballots reported overnight in Milwaukee, which led to the reversal of his lead and solidified Baldwin's victory. Despite Hovde's reservations, Wisconsin election officials and experts have confirmed the legitimacy of the votes.
