GOP Senate Campaign Arm Is Pulling Ads in Three Key Races
News.yahoo.com ^ | 8/15/22 | Ryan Bort

Posted on 08/15/2022 2:45:22 PM PDT by cotton1706

The National Republican Senatorial Committee is canceling $10 million worth of fall advertising reservations in Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin — three states at the center of the GOP’s push to regain control of Congress. The New York Times, which reported the news on Monday, notes Republicans have been struggling to raise money as of late, as well as that the decision to pull ads for some of its top candidates could be tied to the party’s financial troubles.

The NRSC has cut the most money, $5 million, in Pennsylvania, where quack TV doctor Mehmet Oz is taking on Lt. Governor John Fetterman. Oz’s campaign has been fraught, to say the least, and current polling averages currently have him losing to the Democrat by more than 10 percentage points. Oz narrowly edged out David McCormick in the state’s Republican primary behind the strength of former President Donald Trump’s endorsement. Members of the Republican establishment, and even Trump’s circle, had lined up to back McCormick for fear that Oz couldn’t beat Fetterman.

The committee also cut more than $2 million in both Arizona, where Trump-backed Blake Masters is up against incumbent Sen. Mark Kelly, and Wisconsin, where incumbent Republican Sen. Ron Johnson is trying to fend off rising Democratic star Mandela Barnes, who won his primary last week. Polling averages have Masters trailing Kelly by more 10 points. There isn’t much polling for the matchup between Johnson and Barnes, but the race is expected to be a close one, making the NRSC’s move to cut bait — at least $2 million worth of it — all the more surprising.

The NRSC doesn't want a Senate majority.

Trump needs to step in with his funds.

This nice, “objective” Yahoo “Journalist” calls Oz a “quack tv doctor”. What does he know about his credentials??

Bingo. McConnell would rather lose the senate than have senators backed by Trump. He is truly a POS.

I agree with you, the proof would be figuring out how much money they are donating to Lisa Murkowski in Alaska, she could be going down in the Republican Primary which she did once before.

We need to make sure there is enough funds. Saw a clip of Fetterman today, I hope Oz has a media group because that would make a great ad.

To even it out, they should have written “fascist punk” Fetterman.

No, the funding is being cut for MAGA candidates trailing their opponents by more than 10%.

... where quack TV doctor Mehmet Oz is taking on Lt. Governor John Fetterman

This isn’t just editorializing masquerading as news, it’s flat out libel.

No doubt Bort is a victim of spell-check...he meant to write "Turk TV doctor."

Great reporting, no? I like his objectivity. Not. But he manages to write for his audience, and thus keeps to keep his bullshit job.

52D - 48R. Could be worse, but with a demented old man as their symbol, the Democrats won’t get to 53 or 54. Write it down.

It’s not a money problem. The GOP stands for nothing, everybody knows it, when a man (by no means a Republican) was elected President to burnish their tired brand, they did everything they could to frustrate him and eventually to get him out sice his goals were diametrically opposed to core GOP values.

The Democrats have concrete goals and work hard to put them into practice. The Republicans don’t, or rather, their true objectives (open borders, global labor market, usury as a money system, stigmatizing normal, healthy love for one’s own people, offshoring vital industries) are so repulsive to normal Americans so it SEEMS like they have none.
