Gov. Lamont secures Democratic endorsement, still faces primary 

Дата публикации: 16-05-2026 14:36:41



Gov. Ned Lamont secured the Democratic endorsement Saturday but still must face a primary challenge, something rare for an incumbent governor in Connecticut.  
Lamont, (D-Connecticut), won 75% of the delegates during the party’s convention at the Bushnell, a show of strong party support.  
But Rep. Josh Elliott, (D-Hamden), was able to qualify for an Aug. 11 primary by winning 25%, easily clearing the 15% threshold needed.  
“We’re here on behalf of the people who voted for us and we’re here on behalf of the people who didn’t vote for us,” Lamont said in accepting the endorsement. “Because that’s what we do as Democrats.”  
He also forecast that his campaign would be focused on “one of the most extreme, corrupt” administration in President Donald Trump. 
Elliott did not get the chance to address the crowd, but Sen. Saud Anwar, (D-South Windsor), said Lamont has also not improved life in Connecticut.  
“I also want us to be honest today: even without Donald Trump, vulnerable people in our state have not been doing well,” he said in nominating Elliott for the endorsement vote.  
Lt. Gov. Susan Bysiewicz secured the Democratic nomination for her own re-election because she was unopposed.
