Donald Trump's 2016 race in Wisconsin, which President Joe Biden won in 2020, will determine which party will dominate the Senate. Was completed. Opinion polls show a close Democratic primary between Vice Governor Mandela Burns and Alex Rasley, who has resigned as an executive at Milwaukee Bucks.
Burns emphasized his upbringing in Milwaukee's "hard-working union household" and contrasted it with Johnson, a millionaire and former owner of a plastic company.
"It feels like the decks are piled up against us," Burns said at the lacrosse tournament. "We don't want to reach out. We just want a fair shot, and we know that as long as Ron Johnson is in the Senate, we'll never get that fair shot."
Millionaire's Razzley touted his role in supporting the union, working to build the Fiserv Forum played by Bucks, and hosting the 2020 Democratic National Convention in Milwaukee. He wasn't fighting to persuade Oshkosh defense to find 1,000 jobs in Wisconsin instead of South Carolina.
"He attacked organized workers," Rasley said. "Spread is about COVID. He tried to overthrow the government, and he even advocates sending Wisconsin's work to South Carolina."
To other candidates, state finance. Includes Secretary Sara Godrevsky, South Carolina Executive Tom Nelson, Political Organizer Stephen Orikara, Restaurant Owner Kou Lee, State Emergency Management Manager Darrell Williams, and Attorney Peter Peckalski. It will be.
Godrevsky, the only woman in the race, said she would work to pass a law to legalize abortion now that the Supreme Court has overturned the Roe v. Wade case.
"If there were more Democratic women in the US Senate, we would have done this long ago," Godrevsky said.
Nelson, who tried to run a folk campaign with humor, gave Johnson the strongest words, just as former Senator Russell D. Feingold took office 30 years ago. I had some. He likened his candidacy to a "strong Wisconsin beer," lifting a bottle of New Glarus Brewing's speckled cow and comparing Johnson to a bottle of Budlight.
He called Johnson "a lie, a love of rebellion, a hatred of women, Putin's minions."
Orikara emphasized his work in leading the Millennial Action Project, which undertook the first public office campaign and urged Congress to enact bipartisan law. He said the best idea in Congress should come from the general public "not the special benefit of big bucks".
Candidates have expressed their support rather than the right to abortion, have also enforced gun control, ended the Senate filibuster, expanded voters' rights, and combated climate change, for the most part on issues. It matched.
The primary winner on August 9th will face Johnson. Johnson wants a third term after he previously promised not to run again. Johnson is also one of Trump's most noisy supporters and has been approved by the former president. He supported the conspiracy theories associated with the January 6 riots and sought to shift responsibility for what had happened from Trump supporters.
