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.

Snatching “sure” defeat from the jaws of “potential” victory...

What else does anybody expect of the Republican elite backbenchers?

The fallout from the Dobbs decision will be a loss of Republican seats in the senate.

As goes Kansas, so goes the nation.

I think Tudor Dixon was outspent many times over, too. People aren’t falling for the glitz of political ads any more, IMO.

If the base sits on their hands and keeps their wallets closed, the establishment calls the shots. 1 million people giving just $10 to the candidate solves this issue. Way more people than that who can more than afford to give that to each candidate. Why isn’t Trump asking his mailing / text list to do that with a link to the candidate’s fundraising page?
