Baldwin_thompsonx400

Tammy Baldwin now has a three point lead over her GOP challenger in the battle to win one of Wisconsin's Senate seats, according to a poll sponsored by a Democratic political action committee.

The Democracy for America poll, which queried nearly 1,000 people last week, showed Baldwin leading Tommy Thompson, a former Republican governor of Wisconsin. The poll also showed Thompson's favoribility numbers dropping, with 53% of voters reporting a negative view of him.

Should Baldwin win in November, she would be the first LGBT person to serve in the U.S. Senate.

It was fitting, in a perverse way, that a Christmas party hosted by disgraced former Congressman George Santos, the first out gay man elected to the U.S. House of Representatives by Republicans and newly freed after President Donald Trump commuted his seven-year fraud sentence, would become a stage for the very chaos that propelled him into the national imagination. Santos, who was expelled from Congress in December 2023 after the House overwhelmingly voted to remove him following a blistering ethics investigation, returned to Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, with a holiday bash he dubbed “Santos Claus.” Keep Reading →
