Republican Matthew Corey trailed U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy by 16 percentage points in a Connecticut Mirror poll, one of the few public polls in the race. More than 60% of those polled said they never heard of Corey.

Gallup reported last month that 57% of Americans are very or somewhat confident in an accurate count, and a poll of Connecticut voters conducted for The Connecticut Mirror found an even higher number — 67%.

Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz swooped into Connecticut to deliver a pep talk and raise funds for the Harris-Walz ticket.

With about five weeks until Election Day, Connecticut Senate Democrats are highlighting Republican opposition to a gun safety law passed a year ago. Republicans counter that Democrats are tough on guns, but soft on crime.

Hillary Clinton is selling books, settling scores and capitalizing on the synergies of touring America at a moment when another woman, Kamala Harris, is knocking on the glass ceiling that Clinton could not break.

The revelation comes about 48 minutes into “Centered: Joe Lieberman,” a documentary about the singular place Lieberman occupied in contemporary American politics.

Highway signage unveiled Wednesday at seven entry points into Connecticut variously proclaim the state as home of the foodie capital of New England, pizza capital of the U.S., and the submarine and basketball capitals of, yes, the entire world.

On a day when Kamala Harris was to accept the Democratic presidential nomination, positioning a Black and South Asian woman to break the highest glass ceiling in American politics, others wondered how high is the ceiling for Pete Buttigieg, a gay man who has become one of the party’s ablest communicators.

At the Democratic National Convention, Gov. Tim Walz had an enthusiastic rooting section in the Connecticut delegation from U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney, a classmate from the watershed election of 2006, and Gov. Ned Lamont, who was elected governor in Connecticut in 2018, the same year as Walz in Minnesota.

The soft campaigns for governor of Connecticut in 2026, or perhaps 2030, as well as positioning for potential presidential runs in 2032, are an ever-present subtext of a Democratic National Convention dedicated to the immediate goal of electing Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in 2024.
