Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) and his Democratic challenger, Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes, clashed on crime and Jan. 6 as they tussled during their first debate on Friday.
Moderator and veteran newscaster Jill Geisler peppered them with questions over a plethora of issues, but crime, democracy, and abortion loomed large as Johnson and Barnes faced off during the largely civil event. Here are five key takeaways moments from the debate.Jan. 6 and former Vice President Mike Pence
.@RonJohnsonWI says during debate w/ @TheOtherMandela he would support legislation moving through the Senate to reform the Electoral College certification process and prevent future Jan. 6, 2021 controversies.Going into the debate, it was clear that Johnson viewed crime as an Achilles' heel for Barnes. His campaign had long blanketed the airways with ads zinging the Democrat by tying him to the"defund the police" movement.
Johnson said he condemned the Jan. 6 riot and noted that he"also condemned the 570 riots that occurred during the summer." The senator also fielded questions from the moderator about his past assertion that Social Security should be budgeted as a discretionary program rather than as a mandatory expenditure so that Congress could have more control over its spending.
