Following the DSCC’s endorsement of Arizona Senate candidate Ann Kirkpatrick, please see the following response from the NRSC:
"With her reckless support of Obamacare, the failed stimulus, and the disastrous Iran deal, Ann Kirkpatrick already faced an uphill climb in this campaign. Now Kirkpatrick has lost the ability to claim any last shred of independence from her party bosses. After months of stalling, this tepid endorsement is nothing but a concession from national Democrats that they were unable to find a better candidate." – NRSC spokesman Greg Blair
FLASHBACK
In July, The DSCC Refused To Offer An Endorsement Of Kirkpatrick. “The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has formally endorsed a few House members vying for the Senate, but it’s stopped short of doing the same for Kirkpatrick. DSCC spokesman Justin Barasky said while the committee thinks Kirkpatrick is a ‘great candidate,’ it’s not yet made a decision to endorse.” (Eli Yokley, “Conservative Groups Not Sold On John McCain Challenger,” Roll Call, 7/24/15)
