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.
It was reported that McConnell was in talks with billionaire entrepreneur Peter Thiel, who spent more than $13 million on behalf of Masters through the Saving Arizona PAC in the primary, to provide financial support for Masters for the general election as well.
According to The Washington Post, those talks failed.
Despite that, Thiel, who is Masters's friend and longtime employer, has resumed spending in the Arizona Senate race.
In addition, Thiel's Saving Arizona PAC announced it will be spending specifically to promote Masters.
The Sentinel Action Fund, a super-PAC associated with the conservative-issues group Heritage Action for America, has pledged to spend at least $5 million to boost Masters. Some $3.5 million from its fund will be dedicated to television ads, while $1.5 million will fund voter outreach.

Simple, help out Az (and yourselves) and donate directly. Show Mitch we don’t need him.
The RINOs would rather lose than see MAGA Republicans win. That’s why they’re not spending on races where its close like in Arizona. That’s why Lindsey Graham is proposing a nationwide abortion ban at 15 weeks when he knows there is a broad consensus at 20 weeks but not at 15. Firstly, it has no chance of passage. Secondly its a deliberate sabotage attempt.
It’s not what they say. It’s what they do - or don’t do.
RNC’s Rona “McRomney” isn’t helping much!
It's his standard operating procedure.

The sorry bastard, yes he is.
Because he is a RINO Bully.
He’d rather be minority leader than be kicked out as majority leader by conservative Senators.
Mitch is a ccp traitor scumbag
TY. I looked up Mitch’s control of funds. I had no idea the punk had so much power and his Super Pac. It seems he only cares about his free ride.
He only cares about his own RINO hide. What a dunce he is.
I never knew this, but; out politicians are now trash in my mind. When I moved here in 1991 my attorney asked me to run for office as a DEM. Next, it was at parties with Judges etc. I just left these society types. Yes, they had the power to make me very wealthy. I have to live with memories of great men I lost in war. Not these BS types grabbing more power.
Republican majority in the Senate is not in McConnell’s interest.
That can’t happen. Most of the GOP Senators will be people who were hand picked by him regardless of this year’s results.
