Eric Hovde Concedes to Tammy Baldwin in Wisconsin’s U.S. Senate Race, Eschews Recount Effort

Republican Eric Hovde has conceded to incumbent Democrat Tammy Baldwin in Wisconsin’s U.S. Senate race, acknowledging the large margin of victory and opting not to pursue a recount. His concession came nearly two weeks after Election Day, just before the final canvassing results were due, as reported byFOX6Now.

Hovde, while previously considering a recount, stated in a social media video that it would not be useful. “A request for a recount would serve no purpose because you will just be recounting the same ballots, regardless of their integrity,” he said. He also acknowledged concerns about election integrity, particularly with absentee ballots in Milwaukee, but recognized the difficulty of challenging each ballot’s validity in court, as stated byFOX6Now.

Tammy Baldwin was declared the winner of Wisconsin’s Senate race on November 6, defeating Republican Eric Hovde by less than 1 percentage point. Hovde chose not to pursue a recount and conceded the election, though he had previously shared debunked claims of election fraud. He officially stepped down after acknowledging his loss in a radio interview and making a final announcement on social media. Baldwin’s win secured her Senate seat in Wisconsin, according toPBS Wisconsin.
