Incumbent two-term Republican Senator Ron Johnson is eligible to seek a third term, although he said in 2016 that he planned to only serve two terms.[1] However, in 2019, he said that he would not rule anything out about either running for a third term or instead run for governor.[2] Regardless of if he runs again or not, Wisconsin's seat is expected to be one of the most heavily targeted seats by national Democrats in 2022 for a potential flip and one of the most important seats to determine Senate control, due to recent statewide wins for the party in the state in 2018 and 2020.[3]
