Wisconsin GOP candidate TIED with Dem senator who votes with Biden 95% of the time
New poll numbers show Republican Eric Hovde is tied with his Democratic opponent, incumbent Sen. Tammy Baldwin, a career politician who has held the seat since 2013 and before that served in Congress dating back to 1999 — in a race that could help determine control of the Senate.
The new survey from the conservative Remington Research Group shows both candidates at 48% support from likely voters in the Badger State, which is among the crucial swing states that will determine the outcome of November’s election.
While Baldwin and Hovde appear to be neck and neck for the first time this cycle, the results for the presidential race paint a worse picture for President Biden.
Remington’s poll, conducted in the days following his disastrous debate performance, shows Donald Trump 6 points ahead of Biden, with the former president earning 49% likely voter support to the current president’s 43%.
That’s likely one reason why Baldwin’s been avoiding Biden on the campaign trail, despite a voting record that shows her supporting his agenda a whopping 95% of the time.
Another is Biden’s dreadful debate performance and two-week media-frenzy fallout, with much of the Democratic establishment calling on him to bow out of the race.
Baldwin’s campaign spokesman told reporters last week she is “running her own race.” This week, she declined to say whether Biden should remain in the race but noted she’d “passed on concerns to the White House” from voters in her state who doubt Biden’s capacity to govern.
With the walls caving in on Biden, Hovde took aim at Baldwin for her support of the president, questioning just how much she knew about his cognitive decline.
“It would be nice if Sen. Baldwin acknowledged whether she had the same concerns about President Biden’s mental faculties as her constituents or if she has concerns about his abilities to finish four more years in the White House,” Hovde spokesman Ben Voelkel told a Milwaukee paper Wednesday.
This election cycle, Hovde has embraced the Trumpist mold of political outsider and businessman — a strategy that seems to be working. Polls indicate clear “coat-tails” from the presidential race translating to Republican support for Hovde in his contest with Baldwin.
Voelkel told The Post, “Sen. Baldwin’s rubber stamp support for the failed Biden agenda has made life for Wisconsin families more expensive and more dangerous. After 38 years as a career politician, Wisconsin voters are ready for someone who will put results ahead of partisan politics.”
The Cook Political Report ranks the Wisconsin Senate race as “Leans Democrat” but the presidential race as a toss-up.

Carrington scores 18 points to lead Wisconsin’s 78-45 throttling of Maryland
MADISON (AP) — Reserve Braeden Carrington scored 18 points, John Blackwell scored 14 points and Wisconsin poured it on in the second half to dismantle Maryland 78-45 on Wednesday night.
Nick Boyd scored 13 points and reserve Austin Rapp scored 11 points for Wisconsin (21-9, 13-6 Big Ten), which had 11 players enter the scoring column.
The Badgers’ Andrew Rohde passed out six of Wisconsin’s 15 assists and didn’t commit a turnover. Wisconsin turned it over only three times.
Andre Mills scored 14 points and Elijah Saunders scored 11 points for Maryland.
Wisconsin turned an already commanding 34-21 first-half stranglehold into a 21-point lead 5 1/2 minutes into the second half. The Badgers shot 48% (27 of 56) and made 42% (13 of 31) from 3-point range. The Badgers scored 44 second-half points.
It was the fewest point Maryland (11-19, 4-15) has ever posted against Wisconsin in the shot-clock era. It was also Maryland’s lowest point total of the season.
Wisconsin has won five of its last seven. Maryland has lost five of its last six.

Flood Safety Week runs March 9-13 as Wisconsin braces for a spring swell
(WLUK) — As winter thaws, Wisconsinites are encouraged to think about preparing for potential flooding.
Gov. Evers has declared March 9 -13 as Flood Safety Week in Wisconsin.
During Flood Safety Awareness Week, ReadyWisconsin is asking everyone to review their flooding risk and take proactive steps to protect their families, homes, and businesses before waters rise.
- Know your flood risk. Assess the potential for flooding on your property if you live in a flood plain, near a body of water, or have a basement. Plan with your family for what you will do if the floodwaters begin to rise.
- Consider flood insurance. Most homeowner, rental, and business insurance policies generally do not cover flooding. Don’t wait until it’s too late. Most flood coverage requires 30 days to take effect. Find more information about flood insurance options here.
- Move valuables or mementos out of the basement and store them in waterproof containers.
- Elevate or flood-proof your washer, dryer, water heater, and HVAC systems. Relocate electrical outlets to three feet above the floor.
- Have copies of important documents (personal identification like passports and birth certificates, medical records, insurance policies, and financial documents) in a waterproof container.
- Build a “Go Kit.” Include items such as food, water, cash, and medications.
- Make an emergency plan. If you can’t make it home or need to leave quickly, identify a meeting place for your family. Make a list of emergency numbers and important contacts.
- Keep water out of and away from your house. Clean gutters regularly, direct downspouts away from your foundation, repair cracks in your foundation, improve grading so water flows away from your house, and cover window wells.
When flooding occurs, keep the following steps in mind:
- Stay up to date on the forecast. Identify multiple ways to receive alerts about dangerous weather conditions and potential flooding, such as a NOAA Weather Radio, trusted local news outlets, and mobile weather apps. Enable Wireless Emergency Alerts on your smartphones.
- Never drive or walk through flooded areas. Just six inches of fast-moving water can sweep adults off their feet, while just 12 inches can carry away a small car or 24 inches for larger vehicles. Moving water is not the only danger, your vehicle could potentially stall when driving through floodwater.
BE THE FIRST TO COMMENT
Flooding could potentially impact your health as well. Avoid entering floodwaters, which can contain bacteria from human and animal waste, sharp objects, hazardous chemicals, downed power lines, and other dangerous items. If your home floods, follow cleaning and disinfection guidelines to avoid mold growth.
