Wisconsin Primary Sets Up Marquee Battle for Control of US Senate
(Bloomberg) -- Wisconsin voters on Tuesday are set to formalize Democrat Mandela Barnes and Republican Senator Ron Johnson as the contenders in a pivotal general election battle that will help decide control of the Senate for the next two years.
The nominations of Barnes, the state’s lieutenant governor, and Johnson, who is seeking a third term, in their party primaries is a foregone conclusion, and both candidates have already been training their attacks on each other in anticipation of the November general election.
Johnson has only a nominal challenge in the Republican contest and Democrats have coalesced behind Barnes in recent weeks as other contenders dropped out.
“The consolidation gives Democrats a bit of a head start,” Jessica Taylor, Senate editor of the nonpartisan Cook Political Report, said, “but this was always going to be one of the marquee races and it remains a toss-up for now.”
