Wisconsin GOP Has Nobody For Senate Except Sheriff Clarke?

Wisconsin senator Tammy Baldwin could have a tough reelection fight in 2024: The Cook Political Report, Larry Sabato's Crystal Ball and other election observers rate the race as "Lean D" rather than "Solid D," and one May poll (admittedly from a GOP polling firm) showed Baldwin losing to a generic Republican by 3 points.

But Baldwin's opponent might not be a generic Republican, if by that "generic" you mean right-wing but bland and presentable. Her opponent might be this shitposting, trash-talking attention addict:

PPP’s newest Wisconsin Republican primary poll finds 52% want Sheriff [David] Clarke to be their Senate nominee next year compared to 7% for Eric Hovde and 6% for Scott Mayer. In head to heads Clarke leads Hovde 51-10 and Mayer 52-6.

Clarke ... has 65% name recognition and 52% see him favorably to 13% with a negative opinion.
