Cook Political Report Adjusts Key Swing-State Senate Race to Favor Republicans

Republican Senate candidate Eric Hovde's chances against Democratic incumbent Sen. Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin improved following a rating change by the Cook Political Report on Tuesday, which shifted the race from lean Democrat to toss-up.

The Cook Political Report, a nonpartisan election analyst, indicated this change as recent polls show Hovde closing the gap on Baldwin, although he still trails. This shift could provide Republicans with the momentum they need to reclaim a Senate majority.
