Tom Nelson Drops Out of Wisconsin Senate Race

Tom Nelson (D) announced that he was ending his Democratic primary campaign for Wisconsin’s U.S. Senate seat and throwing his support to Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes (D), the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

“Although Nelson was running fourth in the polls, the move could provide a significant boost for Barnes, who is locked in a tight race with Milwaukee Bucks executive Alex Lasry, with state Treasurer Sarah Godlewski further behind.”

“The primary winner will meet Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) in November.”
