Republican Erik Olsen defeated his primary opponent Tuesday night in Wisconsin's 2nd Congressional District, setting up a battle to unseat Democrat Rep. Mark Pocan in the deep-blue district. The 2nd District spans the capital city of Madison – the most politically liberal city in the state – and Dane County. Madison attorney Erik Olsen defeated Charity Barry, a ground crew supervisor, in a primary that was a rematch of the pair's race in 2022.
Olsen beat Barry in that first race by just 63 votes, according to a report in Wisconsin Public Radio. Olsen will challenge Rep. Pocan for the seat he's held since 2013. 2024 ELECTION RESULTS & UPDATES CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP 'It’s been a very quiet contest in a district that is not likely to elect a Republican anytime soon,' University of Wisconsin-Madison political science professor Barry Burden told Wisconsin Public Radio.
