According to a new forecast from Cook Political Report, the race between Kelly and Masters is now a toss up.
After shifting the race from a toss-up to a lean Democrat, Cook moved its rating back to a toss-up on Thursday.
According to FiveThirtyEight's polling average, Kelly's lead has dwindled from 6.3 points just two weeks ago to 3.6 points as of Thursday, while Democrats' chances of retaining control of the Senate are slipping away.
The Arizona Senate race has attracted more than two million dollars in ads since October 6, according to Ad Impact.
CNN reported that a new ad was released by MAGA Inc., attacking President Joe Biden's immigration policies and accusing Kelly and Democrats of downplaying conditions at the southern border.
Tech billionaire and GOP mega-donor Peter Thiel helped Masters win the Republican primary by donating 15 million to a super PAC backing the candidate, and recently suggested he would donate another $5 million to Masters' general election push if the Republican Senate Leadership Fund matched his donation.
In the weeks after the August primary, it seemed unlikely that Masters could win as he trailed Kelly by more than 10 points. The GOP pulled $18 million in advertising from Arizona this fall, indicating a lack of confidence in Masters, according to a report. Masters has seen his odds improve as voters have become more uncertain about the economy, with polls showing more trust in the GOP to handle it. Republicans have thrown their support behind Masters as his chances of ousting Kelly have increased. Donald Trump held a rally for Masters earlier this month.
In a post-debate phone call, Trump urged the candidate to push false claims that the 20020 presidential election was rigged in favor of Biden. In a phone call, Trump told Masters that he gave a bad answer in the election. Trump said Biden is the legitimate president and he had seen no evidence of voter fraud. During the debate, Masters said that he believed unfair censorship by media and tech companies cost the election.
Look at her She won with very little money. If they ask how your family is. The election was rigged. In the call, Trump said that he would lose if Masters went soft.
The Arizona GOP nomination was won by a Trump-backed candidate.
