Mark Kelly by a surprising margin.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">No one in the left-wing establishment or the propaganda media wants to look at the facts on the ground in Arizona.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">First, Arizona is a much more Republican state than Washington\u2019s so-called experts think it is.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The most recent Emerson poll has President Donald Trump three points ahead of President Joe Biden. The same poll has the governor\u2019s race tied at 46 percent for each candidate \u2013 despite the Republican having come out of a deeply divisive primary. Finally, Emerson has Kelly barely ahead at 47 percent to 45 percent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">When an incumbent senator is only two points ahead of a challenger who just came out of a tough primary, it is clear the incumbent is vulnerable. Furthermore, an incumbent who cannot get above 50 percent is even more vulnerable. James Carville once said a well known incumbent gets whatever their final poll number is, they don\u2019t get any of the undecideds. If that is true, Kelly will likely lose 53 percent to 47 percent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">However, I think the margin of defeat will be bigger.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The issues all cut against Kelly \u2013 and most all Democrat incumbents.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">While the Democrats are desperately hoping fervor over the U.S. Supreme Court\u2019s Roe v. Wade ruling will save them, the fact is a substantial majority of Americans favor some level of limits to abortion (usually 15 weeks). They also oppose partial birth abortion, tax-funded abortion, and abortion for sex selection purposes (which tends to be anti-female). It is the Democrats who are the extremists on abortion, and every Republican who makes that clear is going to do fine in that fight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Kelly has three big anchors weighing down his re-election bid: inflation; crime and drugs; and the illegal immigration wave that\u2019s threatening Arizonans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The announcement this week that the inflation rate remained devastatingly high at 8.3 percent hurts every American family. Most people simply can\u2019t maintain their standard of living with what is essentially an 8.3 percent pay cut. Furthermore, high inflation rates hit senior citizens living on fixed incomes and the poor especially hard.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">When the U.S. Army is announcing it is advising its lower paid soldiers to go on food stamps, you know the system is breaking down. This has not happened since the Jimmy Carter administration\u2019s inflation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Kelly is further hurt by inflation because most voters think the spending bills he has been voting for increase the inflation rate. The so-called Inflation Reduction Act is seen as a bad joke by most Americans because they think it actually increases the inflation rate with its massive increase in spending.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The U.S. Federal Reserve\u2019s Commitment to push America into a painful recession as an anti-inflationary measure was reflected by the immediate drop in the stock market (which further hurts 401ks and retirement savings that people have worked so hard to set aside).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">So, just like the Carter years, Democrats such as Kelly own a painful economy their party created that they can neither defend nor solve. Their desperate answer will be to launch hateful, divisive attacks on Republicans. They can\u2019t solve anything, so they have to attack.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The flood of illegal drugs and crime crossing the border from Mexico \u2013 and the growing cartel violence which dominates northern Mexico \u2013 create a sense of insecurity and fear which the Washington elites simply can\u2019t understand. They just don\u2019t feel the pressure 2,300 miles from Phoenix.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">For example, when Vice President Kamala Harris said on NBC\u2019s Meet the Press that \u201cthe border is secure,\u201d it was so clearly false the New York Post editorialized that she was telling \u201cbald-faced lies.\u201d The border may seem secure to Harris in an NBC studio in Washington D.C., but it sure doesn\u2019t seem secure to anyone living in Arizona.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Remember that Kelly voted 94 percent of the time with the Biden-Harris administration \u2013 despite the administration\u2019s complete dishonesty about the border, crime, inflation, and so many other things.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">This leads to Kelly\u2019s greatest vulnerability.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Since January 2020, there have been an estimated 847,000 people illegally crossing the Arizona border from Mexico. (This only includes those encountered by U.S. Border Patrol and does not count the several hundred thousand who avoid all contact with authorities). In Fiscal year 2021, there were 312,000 encounters. In July alone, there were 42,000 encounters (plus those who avoided authorities).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">This steady flood of people illegally entering the United States is clearly more than the current members of the Border Patrol can handle. They need help.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">When given the chance to help the Border Patrol, Kelly refused.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Sen. Rick Scott proposed an amendment to the so-called Inflation Reduction Act which called for hiring 18,000 more Border Patrol agents before a single new IRS agent could be hired. At 3:27 a.m. on Aug. 7, 2022, Kelly voted \u201cno.\u201d Nearly 12 hours later, at 3:04 p.m. Kelly voted \u201cyes\u201d to hire 87,000 more IRS agents.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">When the people of Arizona learn that Kelly was against Border Patrol to protect Arizonans but for IRS agents to audit Arizonans, I suspect they will determine that he represents Washington and the Biden administration \u2013 not Arizona and the people of Arizona.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">I am confident Blake Masters will be the next senator from Arizona.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\" \/>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background is-style-wide\" \/>\n<h2 id=\"h-newt-s-latest-articles\">Newt\u2019s Latest Articles:<\/h2>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity alignwide\" \/>\n<h2 id=\"h-newt-s-latest-podcasts\">Newt\u2019s Latest Podcasts:<\/h2>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\" \/>\n<h2 id=\"h-pre-order-newt-s-latest-book\">Get<strong> Newt\u2019s Latest Book:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When the people of Arizona learn that Mark Kelly represents Washington and the Biden administration \u2013 not Arizona, I am confident Blake Masters will be the next senator from Arizona.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1554088,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1644796","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1644796","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1644796"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1644796\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1554088"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1644796"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1644796"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1644796"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
