Abortion and the Economy Take Center Stage as Tammy Baldwin and Eric Hovde Clash in Wisconsin Senate Debate


Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin and Republican Eric Hovde engaged in a heated debate over abortion rights and economic issues during their first and only debate in the Wisconsin Senate race. The debate turned tense when the candidates clashed over reproductive rights, with Baldwin asserting that women’s rights should not depend on location and Hovde expressing support for exceptions like rape, incest, and the health of the mother. Hovde previously identified as pro-life before changing his stance to include these exceptions. He falsely accused Baldwin of supporting late-term abortions, which she refuted.

The debate took place just days before early voting began in Wisconsin, with both candidates seeing a tighter race than expected. Baldwin, seeking her third Senate term, had maintained a fundraising edge and consistently led in polling, but recent surveys showed a closer contest. Outside groups have poured money into the race, with Hovde contributing millions of his own. The candidates also clashed on immigration, foreign policy, and various economic issues, with Baldwin critiquing Hovde’s support for federal spending cuts and Hovde accusing Baldwin of lying. They also sparred over their Wisconsin credentials, with Baldwin emphasizing her ties to the state and Hovde pointing out his Wisconsin upbringing and education. The race has become a top priority for both parties, given Wisconsin’s status as a closely divided battleground.
