Wisconsin 2024 elections: Wishful thinking on the part of Eric Hovde

Eric, the voter engagement has been on the Democratic side in Dane County, where 82% of voters said "NO" to the GOP power play amendments.  And voter turnout was a stunning 45.4%.
The real estate and banking mogul said he sees boosted voter engagement as a positive element in his race to deny Democratic U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin a third term. “I’m working hard,” Hovde said. “Do I think I’m going to win (the) Madison area? No. But do I think I’m going to compete better than Sen. (Ron) Johnson, or certainly better than Tim Michels was able to in Madison? Of course. I was born here, raised here, given to more charities. I've had my business here for 20-plus years.” Johnson, who won his 2022 race, had more than 68,000 votes in Dane County. Michels, who lost, received more than 62,000.
