What was at one point thought to be an impending Blue Wave that would strike down any vulnerable GOP candidates who got in its path, has turned out to look as though it will be more of a ripple. As Reuters reports, Democrats’ road to control of the Senate has become difficult, and a primary reason for that is waning voter interest in Rep. Krysten Sinema, who is challanging fellow congresswoman Martha McSally for the Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Jeff Flake, who is retiring. Reuters reports:

For most of this year, Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona has run what has been viewed widely as one of the best races in the nation. But with less than a month to go to Election Day, there are doubts whether she can make it across the finish line.

Her matchup with Republican Martha McSally appears to be tightening at the same time that some voters are casting their ballots with the start of early voting in the state. That is unwelcome news for Democrats.
