Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson Reportedly Running For Re-Election
January 8, 2022 | Wisconsin
Republican Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson is reportedly expected to announce a run for re-election to the U.S. Senate.
CBS News reported Friday that Johnson, who campaigned for his first election to the Senate in 2010 on a promise to serve just two terms, is going to announce his re-election campaign next week.
Johnson, one of former President Trump’s staunchest allies in Congress, previously declined to say whether he was running for another term in the Senate, but CBS News reported that Johnson is being pressured to run again.
“I never anticipated the importance of continuing to uncover the corruption,” Johnson told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel last month, via CBS News. “But also just this moment, right here, this is crucial that Republicans retain this Senate seat and I think just about everybody I talk to says I probably have the best chance of doing that. And that puts a fair amount of pressure on me to do that. No, I mean, look, when I made that pledge, when my wife (Jane) and I made that pledge, that was our very strong preference.”..
