The cuts are another blow to a GOP candidate who has been significantly outraised by his Democratic opponent and outmatched on the airwaves.
The spending cuts — which slash all of the super PAC’s remaining ad investments in Arizona — are another blow to a GOP candidate who has been significantly outraised by his Democratic opponent and outmatched on the airwaves. The super PAC, the Senate Leadership Fund ,in Senate ads in Arizona last month, delaying its entry into the race to October — and stoking some GOP alarm in a state long seen as a top Republican pickup opportunity.
Masters, a venture capitalist and first-time candidate, has consistently trailed Kelly, a former astronaut with a massive campaign war chest. Recent Senate race polling in swing states such as Georgia and Nevada has suggested closer races there. One GOP campaign consultant said Republicans in Arizona have always viewed the Senate race as a tougher fight than other statewide races. No matter who emerged from the GOP primary, “you still run up against the same dynamic — you run against Mark Kelly, a political unicorn in a lot of ways,” said the consultant, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to share a candid assessment.
