Lamont Stays Strong Against Trump Critic | Wilmington News

Governor Ned Lamont edges out challenger Josh Elliott in a bruising Democratic primary, with Elliott accusing Lamont of being too soft on Trump and failing to tackle affordability or fascism. Lamont counters by touting his record and dismissing Elliott’s rhetoric as empty, while spotlighting key policies like single-payer healthcare and early childhood education to win over voters in a state increasingly shaped by urban centers. Though Connecticut is now reliably Democratic, its history of electing GOP leaders looms large. In the general election, Lamont faces Republican Ryan Fazio — a race that could signal whether the state continues its Democratic momentum or swings back toward Republican influence, setting the stage for a pivotal moment in Connecticut’s political future.
