Looks like Senator Tammy Baldwin is playing a bizarre game of hide-and-seek with Sleepy Joe Biden. Despite being his number-one cheerleader, she was nowhere to be found when he waltzed into Madison. Eric Hovde, her Republican challenger, wasted no time pouncing on this golden opportunity to point out the growing rift between Baldwin and the president.
Hovde’s pointed jabs have conservatives nodding in agreement. He openly questioned whether Baldwin was complicit in hiding Biden’s declining health from the American public. Considering she votes lockstep with the president 95.5% of the time, Hovde wondered if Baldwin’s skipping of the Biden visit was just another act in a well-rehearsed political charade.

Baldwin decided to take her grievances to social media, clearly feeling the heat. She lamented Hovde’s common-sense stance on health insurance and attempted to vilify him for unvarnished comments about cultural and economic issues. Meanwhile, Hovde seems unfazed, preparing for his high-profile “Restore the American Dream Roadtrip,” which aims to rally support across 28 counties.
Interestingly enough, Baldwin has been busy with her little campaign trail, “Fired Up for Tammy.” Yet, in a not-so-surprising twist, she still couldn’t muster the courage to stand by Biden’s side during his Madison visit. It’s almost as if Baldwin struggles between loyalty to a floundering administration and the mounting criticism of her allegiance.
Despite all the drama, Marquette Law School polls suggest Wisconsinites still lean Baldwin’s way. However, if Hovde continues to expose these glaring inconsistencies and questionable alliances, those numbers might start swinging in a different direction. It’s clear that this Senate race in Wisconsin is heating up, and Baldwin will need more than just fiery rhetoric to maintain her lead.
