A prominent Republican super PAC aligned with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., is canceling nearly $10 million in advertisement spending in Arizona and Alaska.
The Senate Leadership Fund is cutting about $8 million in ads from the Arizona Senate race in which GOP candidate Blake Masters is hoping to unseat incumbent Democrat Sen. Mark Kelly. The ads were supposed to begin after Labor Day, but will now kick off in early October.
Republicans only need a net gain of one Senate seat to flip the upper chamber. In addition to Arizona, November's elections will feature some other crucial Senate races, including in Georgia, Nevada, Ohio, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
But Republicans are trailing in the polls to Democrats in some key battleground states, including Masters in Arizona.

If only the people of Arizona had nominated THEIR preferred candidate - then they'd spare no expense!
Of course their previous preferred candidate, Martha McSally, went down in flames - TWICE!
Hopefully some of Barre Seid’s 1.6b will go to these races.
Exactly.
If they spent money in AK it would be for murk
That is what I was guessing as well. It might not bode well for the Murk.
Now it makes sense why McConnell commented the GOP’s chances at taking the Senate in November were slim because ..... poor quality candidates.
McConnell, for those that don’t know, controls the purse strings for GOP Senate candidate campaigns. He’s allowed to control them as long as he backs the candidates his masters want him to back.
It’s almost as if McConnell wants the Democrats to increase their Senate numbers. You gotta wonder about this guy. Seriously.
We have very few friends left, very few patriots.
Mark Kelly has so much money and dark money you might as well consider it to be an unlimited supply - it works out to be the same thing.
It was a real shame when the good people of Kentucky allowed Matt Bevin to be lynched by the radical leftist Groomers Union (er, I mean Teachers Union) in 2019 when he was running to be re-elected as Governor.
Because the best thing that could happen to GOP Senate chances is for Mitch McConnell to drop dead as soon as possible. Unfortunately, since KY has a Democrat Governor through 2023, Mitch’s replacement would be a liberal Democrat appointed by the liberal Gov.
I’m still not so sure that wouldn’t represent a massive improvement.
McConnell and many others would rather see all the Trump endorsed candidates fail and let the dems retain both the house and senate just to spite Trump, and at the same time allow the rapid destruction of the country take place under the Media-Dem Party. They’re fine with that because they are most likely raking in big money from China and the cartels.
They put the ads off fo0r a month....closer to the election. Good call!!
Which is why I never give to the RNC or Senate committee.
Half of the Generals still think they are really playing to win.
“You can’t win that race without us,” says the GOPe
“And to prove it, we will break your leg!!!”
“See, we told you!”
We are on to it Mitch. You will be held to account.
Money isn’t the end all it used to be as the GOPe is learning. McCarthy’s PAC dumped a ton of money into Washington’s 3rd district trying to keep GOPe Princess Jamie Herrera-Beutler ass in place. They failed.
Look what happened In Wyoming and WA-3. America First Candidate Joe Kent prevailed and will win big in November. McCarthy will not be speaker after the GOP reorganizes after the midterms. I wonder if he doesn’t run again, to save himself from embarrassment, or will he stand for election as Speaker?
Joe Kent has already said he’s a McCarthy no vote. Think any other America First candidates think similarly?
They need to put together an ad stating that and where that money comes from. Needs to be asked “What did mark Kelly have to do to get all that money and why isn’t he financed from Arizonans”
Guess Mitch’s Chinese masters don’t like them.
In the Arizona primaries Kari Lake raised $3.5M or so. Her republican opponent spent $30M on attack ads against Lake.
Lake won all counties against her opponent.
Money is not the end all be all it used to be. The sleeping majority is now awake and aware.
I believe it will take several election cycles to rid ourselves of the GOPe RINO’s but it will happen with this new America First breed being fighters we can be proud of instead of the RINO’s we are ashamed of.
The Senate Leadership Fund is convinced Murkowski will win without their money and Masters will lose no matter how much they spend on him.
Here is the key to the article.
“The ads were supposed to begin after Labor Day, but will now kick off in early October.”
