Dem U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin says she’s prepared to vote to eliminate the filibuster in order to codify Roe v. Wade but would rather work to reform it instead. Meanwhile, Baldwin’s GOP challenger, Eric Hovde, says a Trump victory in Wisconsin would boost his chances in the razor-thin race.

GOP businessman Eric Hovde repeatedly charged Dem U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin has lied about his record during their first and only debate.
