McConnell Pulls Ad Buys in Arizona, Alaska
Newsmax, Aug 26, 2022

The Senate's top GOP super PAC is cutting ad buys in Arizona and Alaska to move resources to other highly competitive races, the group said Friday, raising questions about the party's hopes for Arizona Senate nominee Blake Masters, reported Politico.

The Senate Leadership Fund, which is connected with Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, is cutting roughly $8 million worth of television, radio and digital spending in Arizona throughout September and $1.7 million in ads in Alaska during the first two weeks of September, Fund spokesman Jack Pandol confirmed Friday.

"We're leaving the door wide open in Arizona but we want to move additional resources to other offensive opportunities that have become increasingly competitive, as well as an unexpected expense in Ohio," SLF President Steven Law said in a statement. "We think the fundamentals of this election strongly favor Republicans; we see multiple paths to winning the majority; and we are going to invest heavily and strategically to achieve that goal.”

Law also said the group was "all-in" for Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, who in November faces a challenger backed by former President Donald Trump.

"Sen. Murkowski is in a very strong position and, based on that, decided to push back our start date," Law said.

The group last week pledged to spend $28 million in Ohio, where J.D. Vance is looking to replace retiring GOP Sen. Rob Portman. Vance, though, has not been able to keep up with Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan's fundraising and spending.

In Arizona, Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly has vastly outraised Masters and outspent him on the airwaves and is ahead in polls, 50.3% to 42%.

Mitch McConnell-backed GOP super PAC cancels nearly $10M in ad buys in Arizona, Alaska ahead of midterms
Republican Blake Masters trails his Democratic opponent Sen. Mark Kelly in Arizona and the PAC called the Alaska ad cut a show of confidence in Sen. Lisa Murkowski

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.

The super PAC's move to cancel advertising is, in part, due to its $28 million investment in Ohio. GOP candidate J.D. Vance and Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan, Ohio, are facing off in the state's Senate race.

"We're leaving the door wide open in Arizona, but we want to move additional resources to other offensive opportunities that have become increasingly competitive, as well as an unexpected expense in Ohio," Senate Leadership Fund President Steven Law told Politico. "We think the fundamentals of this election strongly favor Republicans, we see multiple paths to winning the majority, and we are going to invest heavily and strategically to achieve that goal."

Still, the group is not planning to completely pull out of Arizona. The super PAC initially invested about $14.4 million into the Arizona Senate race.

The obvious question this Super PAC should be asking is how did all these Democrats candidates get so much money.  At what point are they gonna wake up and realize it's the $4 trillion in new government spending that is ending up in Democrat campaign chests.

Stop deficit spending, and the Democrat Party goes bankrupt.
