.@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.

Survey: Ron DeSantis Sees Double-Digit Lead Among Latino VotersFlorida Gov. Ron DeSantis is enjoying a double-digit lead in support among Florida’s Latino voters, a recent Spectrum News/Siena College survey found. That's not surprising; DeSantis is very popular among Republicans and, according to multiple polls, Latino voters are leaving the Democratic party behind. Or 'tacos' according to Dr. Jill Biden.
