Johnson(R-WI) is the Republican version of Wellstone(D-MN). [View all]

Both are Midwestern US Senators. MN and WI
Both were elected by unseating high profile US Senators. Boschwitz(R-MN) and Feingold(R-WI).
Both are idealogues.
Both won re-election against the same opponents.
Both broke pledges not to seek a third term.
The only difference is Wellstone died 10 days before the November 2002 General Election. The Republican nominee Norm Coleman-R narrowly won that election.
If Johnson were to get arrested 10 days before the November 2022 General Election and remanded in custody for being a flight risk. The Democratic nominee Sarah Godlewski-D will narrowly win this election.
