It is a politicized issue. The Republican party has become essentially the Republican party of one person and I don’t want to find myself in a place where I am validating bad behavior.

The answer to most of our problems is simple. It’s just a tax on billionaires, tax the wealthiest, tax large corporations that have every tax advantage at their disposal.

For people like Ron Johnson, as you mentioned, who are rather catered to the fringe of his party to the far right, a person who will be so audacious as to try to send fake electors to Mike Pence to try to overturn our democracy.

We are leading with our values, we are leading with our vision. On the other hand, you have Ron Johnson who drifts further and further out of touch from reality.
