Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s PAC has pulled $ million of its ad dollars out of Arizona, leaving Blake Masters to fend for himself ahead of the November election.
The Senate Leadership Fund, McConnell’s powerful PAC, will pull $8 million out of Arizona, underscoring the anti-establishment nature of Trump-endorsed Masters’s insurgent campaign against Democrat incumbent U.S. Sen. Mark Kelly.
The news, broken by Politico, comes amid an ongoing feud between McConnell and 45th President Donald Trump, who heavily supported Masters during the primary. Polls currently show Masters behind Kelly, and the incumbent Democrat has raised $40 million compared to Masters’ $18 million.
The powerful Senate Republican’s PAC, The Senate Leadership Fund, “is one way McConnell has been able to maintain his position as GOP Senate leader for so long,” reported PJ Media. “His PAC has handed out tens of millions of dollars to Republican candidates, which is a lot of incentive to support him,” the outlet explained.
Trump has feuded with McConnell since leaving the White House in 2021, and recently called for Senate Republicans to replace the 80-year-old statesman.
“The Democrats have Mitch McConnell and his lovely wife, Elaine “Coco” Chao, over a barrel,” Trump declared in a Truth Social post. “He and she will never be prosecuted, as per the last paragraphs of this story, as long as he continues to give the Radical Left the Trillions and Trillions of Dollars that they constantly DEMAND.”
“A new Republican leader in the Senate must be picked immediately,” Trump declared.
McConell must go, yes but who will replace him.

This is dangerously close to the truth about how *all* of D.C. operates, with the ringmaster of blackmail being the FBI.
Thanks Mitch. We will remember.
Kinda like the Texans remembered Santa Anna.
“McConell must go, yes but who will replace him.”
I’d love to see him go, but I doubt that McConnell is beatable.

Well, since this it the Senate and most if not all of them are beholden to the Deep State, it will make no difference.
Simple - Blake win your race and then refuse to caucus with the Republicans unless Mitch is dumped as leader.
I certainly hope Peter Thiel steps up to help Blake. Masters is not the typical politician, I doubt he feels comfortable asking for money, but if you ever heard him engage about the things he is passionate about he is very magnetic. He is the kind of senator that is needed in DC. He will actually read the bills and he won’t be swayed by lobbiests.
I think he is doing a lot of face to face meetings.
Blake is great, and Mitch MUST go!
Call your R senators Monday! And Tuesday, and Wednesday, and...
Rubio and Scott will get another earful today.
Anyone could be better.
We will not get new leadership until we change the membership.
As long as we keep re-electing Thune, Barrasso, Blunt, Ernst, Scott, Scott, Lee, Crapo, Grassley, Shelby, Murkowski, Sullivan, Boozman, Rubio, Risch, Young, Braun, Moran, Cassidy, Collins, Hyde-Smith, Daines, Fischer, Sasse, Burr, Tillis, Hoeven, Cramer, Portman, Inhofe, Lankford, Toomey, Grahamnesty, Rounds, Cornyn, Romney, Capito, Lummis then they will keep Mitch in his position.
Rubio is an Amnesty Senator.
He does not care what his constituents think because you’ll re-elect him not matter how many times he betrays you.
This is why I neve3r give money to the GOP despite getting dozens of emails a day, and neither should you.
Donate directly to the candidate of your choosing- not the GOP
Should also add- an Arizona Freeper says this Masters guy is turning into a real POS- walking back his stances on issues and turning soft: https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/4088737/posts?page=28#28
Which is why we all need to contribute to Blake and Kari today.
Masters has Peter Thiel’s support and that group of people has formidable cash. Eight million to them is chump change. But they have lots of other fish to fry.
Lake is on her own. She’s kicked the McCain machine to the curb and every other placid Arizona Establishment gangster with them. So she’s the one in real need.
Millions of people only need to cough up a few bucks. Just need to do it now.
It’s either that or all of the West becomes Mexico Norte.
Next time the Republicans ask you for money, bring this up to them.
Yes, but it can’t hurt.
And Scott favors firing Mitch. But it’s a Big Move.
Ive never seen someone like McConnell before, someone who is deliberately trying to SINK his own party instead of trying to WIN..because he hates Donald Trump
This article convinced me to send some money to Masters. His campaign is going to have to be financed primarily by grass roots small donors.
