MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin Democrats focused their virtual state party convention on the importance of beating Republican U.S. Senate Ron Johnson and reelecting Gov. Tony Evers in 2022, two high-profile races that will once again put the battleground state in the national spotlight.
Evers officially announced his plans to seek a second term during his address Saturday.
The five announced Democratic candidates vying to take on Johnson will speak on Sunday.
Johnson has yet to say whether he will seek a third term.
In brief recorded comments for the convention, President Joe Biden talked about protecting the right to vote.
