In Wisconsin, 2018 was a banner year. A blue wave crashed over the state and washed the Republicans out of state office, including the feckless weasel Scott Walker.

That year also left Sen Ron Johnson as the only Republican in a statewide office and, by default, the top Republican in the state. And boy, he was all jazzed up for it, too:

"When I noticed Scott Walker didn't win, nor Brad Schimel or obviously the lieutenant governor, I realized I was the last statewide representative," Johnson said in a May 2019 interview with the Journal Sentinel. "It's a role I never sought, but it's a responsibility I take pretty seriously."
