Eric Hovde Concedes Wisconsin Senate Race Tammy Baldwin

Hovde's concession follows unsubstantiated claims of election irregularities in Milwaukee.

Eric Hovde conceded to Sen. Tammy Baldwin nearly two weeks after the election, citing a desire to avoid political strife.
Hovde reiterated claims of absentee ballot irregularities in Milwaukee, despite these being debunked by election officials.
The margin of defeat was under 1%, allowing for a recount request, but Hovde chose not to pursue it due to cost and legal challenges.
Hovde accused Democrats of using misleading tactics, including supporting third-party candidates to siphon votes.
Baldwin's victory marks her narrowest win in her Senate career, contrasting with larger margins in previous elections.
