U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Madison, is a formal candidate for reelection in 2024, becoming a key part of Democrats’ efforts to maintain control of the Senate.
Baldwin's announcement this week gives national Dems a two-term incumbent and a proven fundraiser in a purple state that is expected to again be a key in the presidential race. Dems control 20 of the 34 Senate seats up next fall, with another three independents who caucus with the party.
