According to a CNN projection, GOP Senator Ron Johnson will hold onto his seat after defeating challenger Democratic Lt. Governor Mandela Barnes in a close race Tuesday night; Johnson has now won three elections.
From CNN:
The victory was another demonstration of the remarkable political durability of Johnson, 67, who has now won three consecutive hard-fought elections, despite polls that long showed him among the least popular senators up for re-election this year.
In holding off Barnes — who Democrats had viewed at the outset of this year’s election cycle as a potential rising star — Johnson has also bolstered the GOP’s hopes of winning control of the Senate.

I want to thank my family and everyone who supported me and worked so hard to save this U.S. Senate seat.
I will do everything I can to help make things better for Wisconsinites and to heal and unify our country.
