Wisconsin Republican Eric Hovde is admitting that he lost the U.S. Senate race to Democratic incumbent Tammy Baldwin, but refusing to concede and instead is repeating misleading claims about the election while he considers a recount.

For the first time since election night, Republican U.S. Senate candidate Eric Hovde released a campaign video, refusing to concede to Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin, blaming Democrats for running a "phony" candidate and pushing baseless claims about the electoral process in the city of Milwaukee.
