He made a big deal out of only serving 2 terms as Senator.
It looks like he's going to run for the THIRD term.
And he blames it on the democrats. Naturally.

A day after forcing marathon bill reading, Johnson says 'preference' to leave Senate
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The day after he single-handedly delayed the U.S. Senate's debate on President Joe Biden's $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill for 11 hours, Republican Senator Ron Johnson said on Friday that he could retire from office when his term expires.
The two-term Republican told Wisconsin media outlets that he has not decided whether to run for reelection in 2022 but added that not seeking another term is "probably my preference now."
-snip-
"That pledge is on my mind, it was my preference then, I would say it's probably my preference now," Johnson told reporters. "I'm happy to go home."
But he added a caveat. "I think that pledge was based on the assumption we wouldn't have Democrats in total control of government and we're seeing what I would consider the devastating and harmful effects of Democrats' total control just ramming things through," the Wisconsin State Journal quoted him as saying.
