WASHINGTON — Wisconsin Sen. Tammy Baldwin is running for a third term, she said Wednesday, setting up another battleground Senate race next year.
Baldwin is the latest Senate Democrat to announce a reelection bid ahead of a year where the party will be defending more than double the number of seats Republicans will be. The party is relying on incumbents like Baldwin, as well as Pennsylvania’s Bob Casey, who announced a reelection campaign earlier this week, to try to hold on to narrow one-seat majority.
“I’m committed to making sure that working people, not just the big corporations and ultra-wealthy, have a fighter on their side,” Baldwin said in a statement. “With so much at stake, from families struggling with rising costs to a ban on reproductive freedom, Wisconsinites need someone who can fight and win.”
