A number of Republican senators have called for leadership elections scheduled for Wednesday to be postponed.
If Cortez Masto is defeated, control of the Senate will be decided in the Georgia runoff election, where the margins are expected to be extremely close after no candidate won 50 percent support on Tuesday.
"The people who control the purse strings, Senate Leadership Fund, Mitch McConnell - McConnell decided to spend millions of dollars attacking a fellow Republican in Alaska instead of helping me defeat Senator Mark Kelly," Masters told"Had he chosen to spend money in Arizona, this race would be over and we'd be celebrating a Senate Majority right now," he said.
Senate Leadership Fund is a super PAC aligned with McConnell which canceled advertising reservations worth around $8 million in Arizona between September 6 and October 3 and cut another $9.6 million in ad buys in the race scheduled from October 4 to November 8.
