Thirty-three year-old Lasry is the second Democratic candidate to enter the race, which is expected to be one of the most competitive in 2022. Johnson hasn't announced yet whether he'll seek another term, but Lasry sharply criticized Johnson's time in office.
"For the last 10 years, we've had a senator who hasn't been representing Wisconsin, someone who's been more interested in peddling conspiracy theories and lies, rather than actually getting things done on behalf of his constituents," Lasry told CBS News.
