Wisconsin senator Tammy Baldwin is one of 23 Democratic US senators up for re-election this year .

Baldwin faces Eric Hovde , a real estate mogul and banker, who has campaigned on popular Republican issues like immigration and the economy.

Baldwin 's ability to keep the support of voters in purple and red districts could determine the outcome of the race.

Hovde seized on Biden 's unpopularity and flailing campaign to cast Baldwin as a close Biden ally.

Baldwin ’s campaign had raised $ 27 m by the end of the most recent FEC reporting period.

Baldwin did not join calls for Biden to drop out of the race, but refrained from campaigning with Biden .
