Baldwin reported having $5 million cash on hand for the final weeks of the race, compared with just $1.4 million for Vukmir.

Vukmir released a new television ad Tuesday, featuring a woman with a rare lung disease who says Baldwin’s position on health care “is so radical it literally takes my breath away.”

Baldwin supports a Medicare-for-all plan while Vukmir wants to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
