Sen. Rand Paul Aims To Repeal Espionage Act To Save Trump

Democrat Mandela Barnes to take on Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson in November

Wisconsin's lieutenant governor Mandela Barnes is looking ahead to November's Senate election against Sen. Ron Johnson (R) after clinching the Democratic nomination on Tuesday, the Associated Press reports. Why it matters: Barnes' victory tees up a battle between a true-blue progressive and a hard-right conservative in one of the most pivotal battleground states, Axios' Josh Kraushaar notes. Driving the news: Barnes, 35, was all but guaranteed to win the Democratic Party's nomination after his three top competitors dropped out of the race last month. "Mandela won this race," Milwaukee Bucks senior vice president Alex Lasry, Barnes's closest competitor, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel last month.
