Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson stands by Trump in debate
MADISON, Wis. Wisconsin Republican Sen. Ron Johnson stuck by Donald Trump in a debate Friday without actually saying the presidential candidate's name.
Referring to Trump as "our Republican nominee," Johnson said he supports him on a number of issues, including securing the border and fighting the Islamic State terrorist group, but that he's also "not going to defend the indefensible."
Johnson's Democratic opponent, former Sen. Russ Feingold, challenged Johnson to renounce Trump, who's been battered by accusations of sexual misbehavior. Trump has denied the allegations.
"This is one of these times where you have to be an American first, not a politician running for office, not a Republican or Democrat, but an American who's worried about the future of our great country," Feingold said.
The presidential race has cast a shadow over Wisconsin's Senate campaign, as Johnson said he supports but does not endorse Trump. He's spoken out against Trump on a number of issues, most recently denouncing his crude comments about women that were captured in a video released last week. Johnson also has not campaigned with Trump in Wisconsin and planned to skip an upcoming rally Trump had planned for Monday in Green Bay, the same city where Friday's debate took place.
