Ron Johnson’s doomed reelection campaign appears to be in a total freefall, with the Wisconsin senator seemingly admitting to that fake electors scheme just days after walking back his support for same-sex marriage after seeing his poll numbers tank.A new Marquette Law survey released last week found Johnson trailing his Democratic opponent, Mandela Barnes, by seven points, which is well outside the margin of error.Coincidentally, just days after the poll was released, Johnson told local media that he’s not sure anymore if Congress should codify same-sex marriage, mere weeks saying he saw “no reason to oppose” the Respect for Marriage Act.Instead, the embattled senator said he’d like to focus on protecting religious freedom.Related: Mitch McConnell whines about GOP “candidate quality”… So why is he supporting so many of them?“That is the concern right there,” he told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “We’re working on an amendment, as well, before I’d ever support that.”Last month, Johnson called the Respect for Marriage Act unnecessary, saying he believed SCOTUS would never overturn same-sex marriage.
Though he added there was “no reason to oppose” the legislation.“Unlike Roe v. Wade, I do not see any scenario in which the Supreme Court would overturn Obergefell,” he said.
