Libertarian Arizona Senate candidate drops out of the race, endorses Republican Blake Masters
On Tuesday, November 1st, ahead of the midterm elections, the Libertarian Senate candidate for Arizona announced he would be dropping out of the race and endorsed his Republican rival Blake Masters.
In the most recent polling from a Monday New York Times/Siena College poll, the Libertarian Arizona Senate candidate Marc Victor was polling at 1%.
When announcing he was dropping out of the race, Victor said:
"I've said from the very beginning that the reason I'm running for Senate is to promote and get us in the direction of freedom and peace and civility,".
Throwing his support behind the Republican candidate Blake Masters, Victor said, "[Masters] really is — in his heart and in his mind — he's in favor of doing everything he can to get us very sternly, very smartly in the direction of 'live and let live.' And that seems like a good tradeoff to me."
Some polling has Masters Democrat challenger Mark Kelly ahead of him at 51% vs 45% for Masters.
I don't know much about Masters, but that was a very classy endorsement by Marc Victor
