FOX News Decision Desk finally called Wisconsin Senate race for Republican Ron Johnson.
Senator Johnson blasted the media for refusing to call the race Tuesday morning.
“The corporate media is refusing to call a race that is over.” Ron Johnson said. “The votes are in. In all Democrat strongholds, municipalities are reporting 100% of wards are in and counted.”
He continued, “There are some counties that have anywhere from 3-10% of the votes outstanding.”
“There is no path mathematically for Lt. Gov. Barnes to overcome his 27,374 vote deficit. This race is over.” Johnson said.
Senator Johnson claimed victory.
“I want to thank my family and everyone who supported me and worked so hard to save this U.S. Senate seat.” he said. “I will do everything I can to help make things better for Wisconsinites and to heal and unify our country.”
Johnson’s team asked Mandela Barnes if he would accept defeat.
