Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D) is seeking a second term against state Sen. Leah Vukmir (R), a nurse who is aligned with Gov. Scott Walker (R). Donald Trump won Wisconsin by less than one percentage point in 2016, but polls show that voters in the Midwest may be souring on Republicans. Republicans are hoping that a competitive race to reelect Walker could help Vukmir.

Gov. Scott Walker (R) has won two regular elections and a recall election since 2010, but polling suggests that he may have difficulty securing a third term. "We are at risk of a blue wave in Wisconsin," he said after Democrats won key statewide and special elections earlier this year. His opponent is Tony Evers (D), the state's education secretary.
