Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont secured the Democratic nomination for a third term, defeating state Representative Josh Elliott in Tuesday’s primary election. Lamont led with nearly 67% of the vote to Elliott's 33%, according to reports shortly after polls closed.
The race saw Elliott campaign on a platform that included raising taxes on high earners and pursuing more progressive policies. While Lamont did not detail specific policy differences, his victory signals continued leadership for the state. No right-leaning sources reported on this primary.
This outcome positions Lamont to compete in the general election against the Republican nominee, though details of that contest remain to be determined.
