The Senate's leading conspiracy theorist is running for another term
CNN
Wisconsin Republican Sen. Ron Johnson ended months of speculation on Sunday, announcing that he will break his two-term limit pledge and seek a third six-year term in November.
"I believe America is in peril," Johnson wrote in a Wall Street Journal op-ed. "Much as I'd like to ease into a quiet retirement, I don't feel I should."
Why is that notable? For two -- interconnected reasons: 1) Johnson's Wisconsin seat will be one of Democrats' top 2022 targets and 2) Johnson is, by far, the leading conspiracy theorist in the Senate.
