Democratic U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin and Republican businessman Eric Hovde will square off in the first scheduled debate of Wisconsin’s US Senate race at 7 p.m. Oct. 18.
The Wisconsin Broadcasters Association announced it will air the debate, with WMTV-TV as the host in Madison and will be televised and broadcast on radio throughout the state.
The candidates will field questions from panelists who have yet to be announced in an hour-long format moderated by veteran journalist Jill Geisler, who previously moderated WBA debates in 2014, 2016, 2018 and 2022.
