Republican businessman Eric Hovde conceded his loss to Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) in the Wisconsin Senate race nearly two weeks after Election Day.

After staying quiet for a week after the election results pointed to his defeat, Hovde last week said without evidence that ballot fraud in Milwaukee County resulted in his loss and that he was exploring his options. He conceded the election Monday and said he would not request a recount.
