Politico Election Forecaster Shifts AZ Senate To ‘Toss Up’ After Late Blake Masters Rally

Politico elections forecaster Steven Shepard changed the rating of the U.S. Senate race in Arizona to a “toss up” Wednesday, shifting it away from Democrats less than two weeks away from the election.

Republican Blake Masters has surged in recent weeks on a wave of support for GOP priorities such as immigration, inflation, and crime. Masters has also been aided by a strong Republican performance in the Arizona gubernatorial race by former television news anchor Kari Lake, according to Politico.
