Senator Ron Johnson Discusses Wisconsin's Crucial Supreme Court Race

Published | Video Starts at 04:42

It's just grotesque. One of the reasons I'm not a real fan of political consultants, they're the ones driving up the cost of these races. But The radical left came in and way outspent our previous Supreme Court justice candidate a couple of years ago. And we lost that one. Only got 800,000 votes for Dan Kelly. President Trump got 1.7 million votes. He's a record, record vote getter now in Wisconsin beat out Obama by about 20,000 votes. (04:42–04:51)
