The U.S. Capitol stood prominent in Washington, D.C., captured on August 6, 2026. In Wisconsin, voters engaged in deciding crucial House elections.
The spotlight is on the 3rd Congressional District. Democrat Rebecca Cooke is vying for her party’s nomination, aiming for a rematch against Republican Representative Derrick van Orden in this competitive district. Cooke faces opposition from within her party.
Simultaneously, Representative Tom Tiffany, a Republican, vacates his position in Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District to pursue a gubernatorial bid. In a race for this solidly Republican seat, President Trump endorsed Michael Alfonso, the son-in-law of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, as a leading GOP candidate.
Polls are scheduled to close at 9 p.m. EDT. Election followers can tune into Decision Desk HQ for live updates on the results.
