Wisconsin race for US Senate erupts in dramatic caucus clash
Madison May 15 Isaac Stephenson leads in a fierce Wisconsin Republican bid for the US Senate as rivals shift to a floor contest in a joint convention. The struggle features shocks from McGregor and Esch camps, last night’s caucus breakaway votes, and suspected late shifts aimed at blocking Stephenson with Democratic and Social Democrat support. The final joint ballot shows Stephenson at 44 with McGregor fading, while Esch and Hatten vie for final advantage before a late-night decision.
