GOP Rep. Tom Tiffany won't challenge Baldwin for Wisconsin Senate seat | CNN Politics

GOP Rep. Tom Tiffany of Wisconsin will not seek to challenge Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin for her US Senate seat next year, the second congressional Republican in recent weeks to pass on a bid in the crucial swing state

Tiffany said he instead plans to run for reelection in the House, mirroring Wisconsin Rep. Mike Gallagher, who passed on a Senate bid as well despite being recruited by GOP leaders. Republicans have yet to field a top-tier challenger against Baldwin, though businessman Eric Hovde, who lost in the GOP primary for the Senate seat in 2012, may run for the seat.

Baldwin has held the Wisconsin Senate seat since 2013. Democrats currently control a narrow Senate majority. President Joe Biden won Wisconsin in the 2020 presidential election, flipping the state back to the Democratic column for the presidential race after former President Donald Trump won the state in 2016. Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell told CNN’s Manu Raju in a May interview that his main focus for now is on flipping four states: Montana, West Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
