FILE - Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., speaks on Capitol Hill in Washington, on Feb. 8, 2022. Wisconsin Republicans are slated to gather on Saturday, May 21, 2022, to consider whether to endorse a candidate in the hotly contested governor's race primary in the battleground state, with some in the party arguing it shouldn't get involved in picking a favorite before the August primary. The Republican Party has endorsed candidates since 2009 and winning that backing was crucial to Johnson's win in his first race in 2010.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer accused Johnson of putting the two hugely popular programs "on the chopping block."
