After tens of millions of dollars in dueling ads and weeks of circling each other on the campaign trail, Wisconsin Republican U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson and his Democratic challenger, Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes, finally squared off in their first debate.
"Now, the senator called the overturning of Roe v. Wade a victory," Barnes said."He celebrated the court's decision. And he said that if women don't like the laws of their state, like the 1849 criminal abortion ban we have here, he said they can move. I can't think of more callous, out-of-touch, more extreme position to take.""We all agree that society has responsibility to protect life," Johnson said.
Johnson countered,"We have a huge problem with skyrocketing crime. One of the issues is we're not keeping criminals in jail." The senator called out the parole policies of the administration of Gov. Tony Evers and Barnes.Hundreds of elections deniers running for office nationwide in 2022 pose 'major threat' to U.S. democracy
