The Democratic Party pointed out recent comments from Johnson facing a competitive re-election bid in November.
“We’re going to end his agenda so he can stop destroying America,” Johnson told the Breitbart News Daily Podcast earlier this month.
“For example, if you want to abolish and replace Obamacare, I think you need to revise your health care system. After you take office, you need to plan ahead so that you can: Knock Around as before. Instead of failing, implement it immediately. “

However, Democrats received Johnson’s first comment and ran with them, framing them as a threat to medical law.
On Wednesday, the Democratic National Committee released a four-digit digital ad that blows up Johnson’s first comment airing in Wisconsin, Florida, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina.

North Carolina Democratic Party Chairman Bobby Richardson said:
However, Republicans argue that 2022 health insurance reform is not a major topic given inflation, rising gas prices and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. For example, one Wisconsin-based Republican told Hill that the attack on Johnson was likely to level off.
“If this attack is intended to destroy Johnson’s base or enliven Democrats, especially if there are many other modern and pressing problems at the dining table of today’s people, it is. It’s hard to know how it happens, “said strategist Brandon Schortz.
“This is just the first of this kind of political attack,” he continued. “Someone just says,’Let’s do ACA this week,’ and that’s a boom.”

However, Republicans continued to try to abolish the medical law.
“Opposites want the government to take over your medical care, take away your doctor, take out your insurance, so mistakenly brand an affordable care method. I think it was very successful.
