GOP banking on Ron John the clown in crucial Senate race

Republicans are growing bullish that Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson will launch his reelection campaign in 2022, setting the stage for a bruising race that could determine control of the Senate and whether former President Donald Trump will continue to have one of his staunchest allies in the chamber.

Johnson has been in no rush to publicly announce his decision, often saying that Senate campaigns are far too long and pointing out that he waited until May 2010 to announce his first bid for an election later that fall. And in interviews this week, Johnson refused to tip his hand about which way he was leaning.

"I'm not ready to say anything," Johnson told CNN. Asked if he is planning on making his announcement next week, the senator replied, "I do all kinds of events."

But in private conversations, Republicans are coming away with the distinct impression that Johnson will run again, according to multiple GOP sources, and would be surprised if he did not. Some Republicans have grown impatient of waiting, as potential candidates decline to make a decision about their political futures until he makes his.

Except when he pledged to only serve two terms. I guess a pledge means nothing to RoJo the Clown.
