Wisconsin Democrats sense new vulnerability in U.S. Senate incumbent Ron Johnson amid fake-electors

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin Democrats looking to unseat Republican Sen. Ron Johnson focused their attacks on him Sunday, and not each other, as the eight candidates made their case to party activists at the state convention held six weeks before the primary.

The Democratic Senate candidates blasted Johnson for his attempt to deliver fake Republican Electoral College ballots to then–Vice President Mike Pence on Jan. 6, 2021, and his evolving explanation of his role in the scheme; his skepticism over COVID-19 vaccines; his voting for a tax law that benefited him; and his support for overturning Roe v. Wade.

The race in Wisconsin, which Donald Trump narrowly carried in 2016 over Democrat Hillary Clinton but President Joe Biden won in 2020, could determine which party control the Senate. Polls show a tight Democratic primary between Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes and Alex Lasry, who is on leave from his job as an executive for the Milwaukee Bucks.

Barnes highlighted his upbringing in a “hardworking union household” in Milwaukee and contrasted that with Johnson, who is a millionaire and former owner of a plastics company.

1. Who are the other GQP senators who may go down via Jan 6 Comm.?

The 6 who wanted pardons are House reps but we need to bet rid of GQP senators. Are there any besides Ron Johnson who are in trouble?

3. You're gonna love this...

Cancun Cruz for one, I hope the Moscow crowd all go to prison. That would mean I would get a new Senator!

4. That is a big bonus!

I hate that ass more than most of the rest.

5. I think...

Hawley (MO), Daines (MT), Cruz (TX), Paul (KY), Johnson (WI) and some others but those alone would do a lot to clean up the Senate.

2. Johnson was slightly behind Mandela Barnes before this all came down PROVIDED

that there is a good turnout. A light turnout favored Johnson.
