Is the gop better off is Ron Johnson retires?

[2016]

This could be a dem pick up if Ron Johnson retires...

Not in a Biden Midterm. Wisconsin has become a "True Swing State" now.

2016 Presidential Race

Donald Trump (R) 1,405,284 = 47.8 %
Hillary Clinton (D) 1,382,536 = 47.0 %

Trump wins by 22,748 Votes.

2018 Governor Race

Tony Evers (D) 1,324,307 = 49.6 %
Scott Walker (R) 1,295,080 = 48.5 %

Evers wins by 29,227 Votes.

2020 Presidential Race

Joe Biden (D) 1,630,716 = 49.4 %
Donald Trump (R) 1,610,151 = 48.8 %

Biden wins by 20,565 Votes.

Wisconsin has undergone a remarkable Political Transformation that started with the Elections of Scott Walker and Ron Johnson in 2010. The last 3 Big Races (2016-2020...Presidential & Governor Races) were all decided by less than 30K. Wisconsin is now a State that's permanently available for Republicans whether it's a Governor, Senate or Presidential Contest assuming they have a strong GOP Candidate.

I am very well aware of all this.

I am simply stating that Democrats will have it easier without Johnson. So I am in disagreement with the OP.

Not sure about that! If those draconian lockdowns imposed by Governor Evers in Wisconsin continue he'll face a similar blowback like NC Governor Roy Cooper, who only won 51-47 this year.
Evers poor showing could drag down the D-Senate Candidate no matter if Johnson runs again or not.

I've already predicted that Evers will lose in 2022 along with Laura Kelly and Gretchen Whitmer.

I am with you on lockdowns. They are counter productive at this point.

Agreed! Lock down everything, flip a switch in 6 Weeks and say "Everything will be alright"? This ain't going to work. We have to deal with this virus at least for another year. We do need to make sure vulnerable get that vaccine as soon as it's available. That's the only thing we can do. People need to get their Businesses going. Shutting down large parts of the Country again will be catastrophic for the Economy. I am not sure Biden will be more successful containing COVID than Trump will be considering his CoS Ron Klain said Obama/Biden bungled up the swine flu but got lucky it didn't spead any further.
