Social security used to be called "the third rail of politics". As in the electrified track on the NY subway. Touch it and die. Which was true until not too long ago. I wonder why it's not any more? Or perhaps it still is? Or perhaps this is a desperate move to get campaign funding from the wealthy GQP. Anyway, Johnson doesn't seem to be in a good position to win right now. This can't help him win. Or maybe he's depending on
the Republican controlled elections board to stiff the public and seat him regardless of the actual result.

Polls ending June 20, 2022
U.S. Senate, Wisconsin, 2022
In June, polling favored the Democrat and it didn't matter which one. Over the past week or so, Barnes was endorsed by the other democratic candidates as they dropped out. The Wis. primary is Aug. 8. As happened in the Presidential primary, Democratic Party leaders decided to unify behind the leading candidate. Trump and his followers managed to do one thing that seemed unimaginable not long ago. They brought Democrats together.
Wisconsin’s Democratic primary for United States Senate started out as a wide-open contest, but that suddenly changed last week when three of the leading candidates dropped out.

Wisconsin’s Democratic primary for United States Senate started out as a wide-open contest as the party searched for the next nominee to take on Republican U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson.
That suddenly changed last week when three of the leading candidates dropped out, paving the way for Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes to win on Aug. 9 on his way to the general election.
