. . ."The Cook Political Report adjusted its rating in the race from “Lean Democrat” to a toss-up, suggesting the GOP’s chances are improving in a crucial race that could determine which party takes control of the Senate this fall.
"The rating change comes “amid a spate of tightening private polling that has left Democrats worried about one of their strongest incumbents,” Cook Political Report analyst Jessica Taylor wrote.
"However this morning we have a political earthquake that could change everything and win the race for the GOP!
"The New York Times reported early Tuesday morning that the Libertarian Party candidate Marc Victory is dropping out in order to endorse Trump-endorsed outsider candidate Blake Masters.
“ 'The Libertarian candidate running for Senate in Arizona — who had threatened to play spoiler in the closely watched race — is dropping out and endorsing Blake Masters, the Republican nominee,” the Times reported.
“ 'The decision, announced on Tuesday, gives Mr. Masters a lift heading into the final week as he seeks to unseat Senator Mark Kelly, the Democratic incumbent, who has generally held a narrow lead in the polls,” the report continued.
“ 'This is another major boost of momentum as we consolidate our support,” Masters said in a statement to The New York Times.". . .
