The Republican super PAC aligned with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said Friday that it would cancel the millions of dollars it had reserved to spend on TV ads in New Hampshire's Senate race.
The Senate Leadership Fund said it would slash $5.6 million from the state, which was one of the party's top targets to flip.
In a statement to Fox News, Senate Leadership Fund president Steven Law said "as the cycle comes to a close, we are shifting resources to where they can be most effective to achieve our ultimate goal: winning the majority."
The move comes just two weeks after the National Republican Senatorial Committee – the Senate GOP’s re-election arm – scrapped its own television ad reservations in New Hampshire.
At the beginning of September, the fund reserved $23 million to run ads in the battleground state. However, that was before Republican and former Army Gen. Don Bolduc won the Sept. 13 primary. Bolduc is resolute that he would not support McConnell as the GOP leader.
"General Bolduc has defied the naysayers from the beginning and that’s the same approach he is going to take through the finish line to victory," Bolduc campaign spokeswoman Kate Constantini said in a statement.

All the more reason to send um a few bucks.
Puke McConnell needs to go
Follow the money; Mitch must have been paid a bundle to support Murki.
McConnell needs to go as Majority Leader after the election. He is a self-centered, go along and get along type who is not a fighter and puts his self interest in front of everything. In 2017, Trump controlled the Executive Branch and both Houses of Congress; what did Paul Ryan in the House and McConnnell in the Senate: tax cuts for them and their wealthy supporters, not a thing for the middle and working classes, with the exception of keeping that odious little man, Merrick Garland, off the Supreme Court.
This shouldn’t surprise anyone. MAGA Republicans know we have political enemies within as well as outside the party. Nothing will change if we don’t vote ‘em out.
Evil is as evil does.
No doubt scumbag Mitch sent the money to Murkowski
The best poll they have (Trafalgar Group) is Hassan (D) 48% and Bolduc (R) 45% for a Hassan advantage of 3% as of 9/26 - 9/30.
Hassan is up by 7 points. Perhaps the internal polls show that Bolduc is too far behind as well.
How many times has this POS snatched RAT defeat from the jaws of victory? Too many times. This UniParty hack needs to be gone.
Nothing will change of the candidates aren’t supported, either. Sitting on their hands and keeping the wallets closed only empowers these PACs. If the candidate had $10 million sitting in the bank, this sort of thing wouldn’t matter. Giving these PACs this much power is a completely voluntary action.

He’s redirecting the money to prop up his stooge Lisa Murkowski.
Better to have a Democrat than any sort of person who would put America first..
That’s the reality of the GOP extablishment and has been for decades
The Uniparty likes it’s power.
I will send him some $$ if he supports getting rid of McConnell!
Mitch is a VINDICTIVE BITCH!
Bolduc is FABULOUS!!
Nothing new here!
So here’s how the system works:
An elected official establishes a relationship with more than one lobbyist representing certain special interests. When the lobbyist has a particular piece of legislation that their client(s) want passed or defeated, they contact the elected official and secure their vote. During the election season (which is virtually non-stop and year-round) the lobbyists facilitate fundraising activities to ensure the elected official’s campaign is well funded. As the elected official rises into leadership positions, he or she has secured commitments from other elected officials in the same legislative body, by helping each to also raise campaign funds in return for their support when needed. When an individual becomes a candidate for an elected position in the same legislative body, if they appear to have a chance to win, the leaders of the same political party may approach the candidate and promise campaign funding in return for their support when needed. Thus, if a candidate is not willing to offer their unwavering support in return for campaign funding, they are set adrift to fend for themselves. This is an abbreviated version how how the game is played in both political parties and it is true in national, state and local legislative bodies.
