MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin voters set the field in a closely watched Senate contest Tuesday, with Republican businessman Eric Hovde easily winning Wisconsin's Republican Senate primary.

Hovde, riding the strength of former President Donald Trump's endorsement, faced only nominal opposition and has been running as the presumptive nominee for months. He's already spent at least $13 million of his own money on the race to knock off Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin, who is running unopposed in her party's primary as she seeks a third term.

The race is a key target for both sides as Democrats try to hold onto their majority in the Senate.
