GOP Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, one of former Pres. Donald Trump’s most vocal supporters, said that he will seek reelection, avoiding a wide open GOP primary in the narrowly divided swing state.

Johnson's announcement that he will run again came a day after Republican Sen. John Thune, of South Dakota, said he would seek a fourth term. No other Senate retirements are likely beyond the five Republicans and one Democrat, Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont, who have already announced plans to step down.
“Much as I’d like to ease into a quiet retirement, I don’t feel I should,” Johnson wrote in an editorial announcing his reelection bid. He said the response to the coronavirus pandemic also played a part in his decision to run again. s. Republican Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos told the AP on Friday that there is “zero chance” of the Legislature taking over the awarding of the state’s 10 presidential elector votes in 2024.“Having already experienced a growing level of vitriol and false attacks, I certainly don’t expect better treatment in the future,” he said in his announcement.“An extension of that promise is that I don’t conduct myself worrying about re-election," he wrote.
Barnes, Godlewski, Nelson and other Democrats faulted Johnson for breaking his promise to serve only two terms.
