May 3, 2022 Connecticut, like much of the Northeast, has shifted heavily Democratic in the past decades. George H. W. Bush won the state in 1988, but since then, the Democrats have won easily. The last Republican senator was Lowell Weicker who lost his seat to Joe Lieberman in 1988 while the last Congressman, Chris Shays, was vanquished by Jim Himes in 2008.
Agreed, but only so long as candidates in the primary abide by Reagan's "Eleventh Commandment" and focus only on their Democratic incumbents. Plenty of fodder there.
