The presidential calendar is quiet Tuesday, but we will have results for the special primary election in Wisconsin's 7th congressional district. The seat has been vacant since former Rep. Sean Duffy (R) resigned this past September to deal with family health issues.
The nominees will meet in the general election on May 12, with the winner serving out the remainder of Duffy's term. The seat, along with all others in the U.S. House, will be contested again in November.
The 7th district is the largest by land area in Wisconsin, covering the mostly rural northern third of the state. Voters narrowly supported Mitt Romney over Barack Obama in 2012, but swung sharply for Donald Trump in 2016; the president won here by 20 points over Hillary Clinton. Duffy won reelection in 2016 and 2018 by similar margins. The general election is seen as Likely to Safe Republican.
Results will appear below after the polls close at 8:00 PM local time (9:00 ET).
