Republican Eric Hovde made his campaign to take on Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) official Tuesday, handing the GOP one of the final pieces to its 2024 map puzzle in a key battleground state.

Hovde, a Madison-area businessman, gives Republicans a potentially formidable candidate in one of the trickiest battleground states, one that has valued incumbency in recent years.

In a launch video, Hovde said it feels as though America “is slipping away” before checking off a laundry list of issues, including the economy and the border.

"Everything is going in the wrong direction. All Washington does is divide us and talk about who's to blame and nothing gets done. That's not the country I know and love,” Hovde said. “I believe we need to come together and find common sense solutions to restore America.”

Hovde is also set to hold a launch event later Tuesday.
