Peter Thiel has reportedly indicated that he will focus on helping Arizona Republican Blake Masters in his campaign’s final days as he believes Republican J.D. Vance is well positioned to win in Ohio.
J.D. Vance, Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Ohio, leaves the Republican senate luncheon in the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday, May 17, 2022.
In fact, the two seats Thiel has been spending money on could decide the majority in the Senate, which currently sits at 50-50, with the Democrats in the majority due to Kamala Harris having the tiebreaking vote as vice president. Republicans only need to net one seat to take the majority in the Senate and net five to take the majority in the House.Thiel did not tell fundraiser guests whether he plans to give more money to a pro-Masters super PAC.
Thiel acknowledged that Masters trails Kelly in many public polls, and needs a massive cash infusion to keep up with the incumbent’s fundraising juggernaut, these people explained. Kelly’s campaign has raised more than $50 million while Masters has taken in just over $4 million, OpenSecrets says. There were at least 40 people in attendance at the fundraiser for Masters at Thiel’s home, with roughly a dozen more who contributed but were unable to make the event, according to the event organizers, Schwartz reported.
If successful, with the event costing between $1,500 to $5,800, Masters could have picked up between $75,000 to $290,000 in campaign contributions.
