“There is a lot of other reasons that I can’t support the other candidate,” Green said.
McSally has a 7-point lead over Sinema, according to a new poll released Thursday.
A poll from NBC News shows Green receiving 6 percent of the vote and an average of polls from RealClearPolitics has Green getting 3 points.
Green’s endorsement of Sinema could give her a late boost just days before the midterms.
