(WTAQ-WLUK) — Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin made multiple stops in Northeast Wisconsin Friday to hold meet and greets with her supporters for her re-election campaign, “Fired up for Tammy”.
“I was told by maybe 20 people – oh my gosh, thank you all for taking time out of a holiday weekend,” she said.
Baldwin’s first stop was at Marinette County’s “A Place for Coffee” where she spoke to those in attendance about legislation she has passed under the Biden Administration in relation to her “Buy America Rules”.
“Under the Biden Administration I have gotten Buy America Rules embedded in the infrastructure bill, and it’s bringing jobs back to Wisconsin,” Baldwin said as she celebrated with her supporters.
But when asked directly about whether President Biden should stay on the presidential ticket, Baldwin did not give a direct response.
“Yes or no, should the president take himself out of the race?” FOX 11 asked.
“It’s his decision, and I’m focusing on my own race,” Baldwin told us.
Baldwin’s challenger in the U.S. Senate race is Republican Eric Hovde – a bank owner and real estate developer. Recent polling shows Baldwin ahead of Hovde in the race for the Senate seat.
Hovde has been vocal about questioning Baldwin’s position on presidential incumbent Joe Biden. At the New Berlin Fourth of July Parade on Thursday, Hovde said Baldwin needs a clear stance.
“I think Senator Baldwin, who just called President Biden the most accomplished President in generations, now has decided now she doesn’t want to be too close to President Biden.” Hovde explained. “I think she has to make her position clearer, so, She’s been a full-throated supporter of President Biden, so does she still have that position after the debate?”
Baldwin and Hovde will debate in a televised event in October.
