Wisconsin GOP Sen. Ron Johnson went toe to toe with Democratic challenger Mandela Barnes over abortion, crime & inflation at a debate, with Barnes taking aggressive swipes at him in attempt to reverse Johnson’s momentum after an onslaught of attack ads.
― but a broader, more bipartisan measure made its way through the Senate Rules committee before the chamber adjourned at the end of September. It’s still unclear whether the legislation will be brought to the floor when the lawmakers return after the midterms.
On the issue of climate change, Johnson expressed skepticism on “spending hundreds of billions of dollars trying to solve a problem that’s not solvable.” Barnes’ aggressive posture during the debate comes as Wisconsin Democrats have grown increasingly alarmed about his chances in the election. One of his primary opponents called on him this week to fire his media consultant. Other Democrats have been privately critical of campaign errors, such as when he removed the names of two law enforcement officials from his list of endorsements after one said he didn’t endorse him and another said he backs him but was not aware he would be on such a list.
Senate candidates in North Carolina also squared off in a debate Friday. At the event, Democrat Cheri Beasley and Republican Ted Budd refused to weigh in on their respective party's potential 2024 presidential nominees. On President Joe Biden running for reelection, Beasley said she didn't "think he's going to ask me," while Budd said he's "exclusively focused" on his own Senate race, not whether Trump should run again in 2024.
