Incumbent Republican Tony Wied seeks a second term against Democrat Rick Crosson in Wisconsin's 8th congressional district, a seat with an R+8 partisan lean where Donald Trump carried the area by 8.5 points in 2024. Both candidates advanced through August primaries, with Crosson prevailing in a close three-way Democratic contest. Forecasters rate the race solid or safe Republican based on district fundamentals and Wied's prior performance, yet the absence of public head-to-head polling leaves room for variability in final margin. Traders assign the highest probabilities to Republican victories in the 6-12 point range, reflecting uncertainty over turnout patterns, national midterm dynamics, and any late campaign developments that could narrow or widen the spread before November 3.
