Vance has gone up with a commercial attacking Democratic rival Tim Ryan for criticizing racism in the criminal justice system, which comes days after another GOP Senate candidate, Georgia's Herschel Walker, began airing his own spot denying the existence of systemic racism. Donald Bolduc, has refused to apologize for calling the governor a "Chinese communist sympathizer" with a family business that "supports terrorism." Sununu's decision wasn't a surprise since Morse's main opponent, retired Brig. Chris Sununu on Thursday endorsed state Senate President Chuck Morse with days to go before Tuesday's Republican primary. The Washington Post wrote late last month that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has told Thiel that he should either use his fortune to further finance Saving Arizona or donate to SLF so it can go back to helping Masters, but the venture capitalist still seems content to let others do the heavy lifting. The buy comes weeks after the Senate Leadership Fund canceled $8 million from its planned pro-Masters reservation. Thiel spent $13.5 million to fund Saving Arizona in the primary, but he has yet to open his wallet for the general. The unnamed source instead says that "the group is not relying on Peter Thiel's largesse at this point," and that while he could eventually put in more money, the PAC is "aggressively pitching" itself to new donors. AZ-Sen: Billionaire Peter Thiel's Saving Arizona PAC has launched a $1.5 million ad buy promoting Republican Blake Masters as a conservative alternative to Democratic incumbent Mark Kelly, but Politico reports that this offensive isn't being financed by Thiel.If they do, that would suggest their private polling shows a serious contest.
A key sign to look for will be whether McMullin's wealthy backers, a group of mostly Democratic donors using a super PAC called Put Utah First, decide to double down on their initial $500,000 investment on his behalf. For the deep-pocketed Club for Growth, this latest foray may simply be insurance. In the absence of fresher data, then, it pays to keep an eye on the spending. So where do things really stand? The last independent poll is even older than Lee's, a Dan Jones & Associates survey from mid-July that had Lee up 41-36. ( Its most recent spot attacks McMullin over unpaid debts from his 2016 presidential bid.) Most notably, the far-right Club for Growth, which had already spent more than $300,000 to prop up Lee, just announced it would dump in another $1 million on ads to protect him. But this close to an election, a month can be a lifetime, especially in a cycle like this one where we've seen the political environment change abruptly and swiftly late in the game.Īnd Lee's allies, it seems, aren't feeling quite so certain as the candidate appears to be. A statement from Lee referred to the WPA data as "ur latest internal polling," so if that's true, it's possible his campaign felt confident enough when it got those results back in early August that it decided not to spend money on another poll.
