DescriptionSen. Mike Johanns (R-Neb.) thinks Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) did more harm than good by investing seven figures in a conservative candidate who finished a distant third place in the Nebraska GOP Senate primary.

In an interview on Wednesday, Johanns had a blunt assessment of the race where DeMint picked Don Stenberg and plunged $1.4 million from the Senate Conservatives Fund into the race, saying it was a “poor choice” by DeMint to get involved. DeMint’s donations came on top of $722,000 the anti-tax Club for Growth spent attacking state attorney general Jon Bruning, another candidate in the race.
