Is Mitch McConnell sabotaging the GOP’s chances to win back the Senate?

Recently, the Arizona Mirror revealed that the Republican Party in Arizona is urging Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell to financially support U.S. Senate candidate Blake Masters.

Masters, who secured a coveted endorsement from President Trump, triumphed in the primaries based on that seal of approval.

In the beginning, Masters was trailing his Democrat rival, incumbent Sen. Mark Kelly, by a significant margin of 12 points.

But matters have recently swung in Masters’s favor, and a recent Emerson College poll has Kelly leading Masters by just two percentage points.  Since the margin of error is around two points, this could be regarded as a tie.

This is a monumental achievement because Masters is lagging significantly behind Kelly in terms of fundraising.

So how has McConnell reacted?

The Senate Leadership Fund, a super-PAC associated with McConnell, reduced its advertising budget in Arizona by around $8 million in August.
