Answer

No, Thompson was not successful in his 2012 Senate bid. He lost the election to Tammy Baldwin, who became the first openly gay person to be elected to the Senate. Baldwin won by a margin of 53% to 45%. This was a surprising result, as Thompson was considered to be the favorite to win. He had previously served as governor of Wisconsin and was a popular figure in the state.
