He was asked point blank if he was going to support the Democratic nominee, he didn't answer the question.

The backstory, as AZ Democrats know, is that Gabby Gifford's very early endorsement of Sinema on her first Senate campaign froze the field and handed the nomination to Sinema.

I spent hundreds of hours working for Sinema when she was a Democrat and attended Kelly's announcement for Senate. Senator Kelly only joined the Democratic Party in 2018.

Given Gifford's very early endorsement of Sinema Kelly's demurring in announcing support for the Democratic nominee is a bitter disappointment.
