Sen. Tammy Baldwin, one of the more vulnerable Democratic senators up for reelection this year, is spending her recess hammering in a central argument of her campaign: She can do something other Democrats can’t.

“Tammy’s Dairyland Tour,” a trip traversing nearly 1,400 miles and 19 counties in just five days, is an all-out push to show how Baldwin is at ease in areas where other Democrats may not be — she’s uniquely been able to win over voters who otherwise often vote for Republicans.

The “Dairyland Tour” includes 13 counties that went for former President Donald Trump twice. It also has six counties Trump won in 2016 that Baldwin nabbed two years later when elected to her second Senate term. However, five of those six went for Trump again in 2020, and in 2022, they were won by Sen. Ron Johnson.
