Jon is already being targeted by Republicans

  Folks, We just got word that the National Republican Senatorial Committee — the arm of the GOP trying to flip the Senate in 2024 — went up on ads today attacking Jon. They are trying to make Jon into something he’s not so they can take back the majority.  Mitch McConnell and the Rep…
