Senator Ron Johnson, a Republican from Wisconsin, used his social media account in mid-March 2026 to criticize Democratic lawmakers over legislative procedures and national policy issues.
On March 13, 2026, Johnson posted, “Put Democrats on the record. Make them vote on changing the filibuster rule. Do they want to end the filibuster with Republicans in control? If they vote yes — just like they pushed for when they were in power — the filibuster ends, and legislation like the SAVE America Act can”. In this statement, Johnson called for Democrats to clarify their stance on the Senate filibuster rule.
Later that day, Johnson addressed immigration and economic issues. He wrote on March 13, 2026: “Radical Democrats caused enormous messes by opening the border and allowing millions of unvetted immigrants into the country. Instead of helping fix the border, 40-year-high inflation, and weakness that emboldened countries like Iran, they are obstructing Republican and @POTUS’”.
On March 15, 2026, Johnson further criticized Democrats regarding funding for federal agencies. He stated: “It’s unconscionable that Democrats are refusing to fund the very agencies needed to clean up their messes and keep America safe — especially given the heightened threat from Iran. They get away with it because the legacy media does not hold them accountable. We should be”.
Senator Ron Johnson has represented Wisconsin in the U.S. Senate since winning his first election in 2010 against Russ Feingold (51.9% to 47%). He was re-elected in 2016 (50.2% to Feingold’s 46.8%) and again in 2022 after defeating Mandela Barnes by a narrow margin (50.4% to 49.4%).
