  • President-elect Donald Trump selected Ron D. Johnson, former U.S Army Green Beret and diplomat, as his choice for U.S. ambassador to Mexico.

The article from USA Today discusses Senator Ron Johnson, a Republican from Wisconsin, who has been a significant figure in the U.S. Senate since his election in 2010. Known for his conservative stance, Johnson has been a vocal critic of government regulations, Obamacare, and has often clashed with Democrats on various issues. He gained national attention for his role in challenging the 2020 election results, promoting conspiracy theories about election fraud, and his involvement in the events leading up to January 6, 2021. Despite these controversies, Johnson has managed to maintain a strong base of support in Wisconsin, focusing on issues like tax cuts, deregulation, and opposition to what he perceives as government overreach. His political career has been marked by his business background, his advocacy for fiscal conservatism, and his often contentious relationship with the media and political opponents.
