Republicans flipped a state legislature seat in Connecticut on Tuesday night, in a huge victory in a district President Joe Biden won by over 25 percent in the 2020 election. Republican Ryan Fazio decisively defeated Democrat Alex Gevanter in the state’s 36th Senate District and ended the state Senate’s Democratic supermajority.
Congratulations to Republican @ryanfazio for winning Connecticut Senate District 36!
Biden won this district by 25 points in 2020 and tonight, we flipped it RED!
The RNC was proud to work with the @CTGOP to get out the vote.— Ronna McDaniel (@GOPChairwoman) August 18, 2021

Earlier this year, Republicans also held a battleground state House seat in Connecticut. Fazio's victory represents Americans' unfavorable view of the the Biden administration's policies, the Republican National Committee (RNC) said.
“Republicans coalesced in support of State Senator-elect Ryan Fazio and brought a sweeping victory in Connecticut," RNC spokesperson Rachel Lee said. "Fazio’s monumental win crushed Connecticut Democrats’ hopes to tread water in the midst of a failing presidency and Ned Lamont’s far-left agenda."
The Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC) also celebrated Fazio's victory and voters' rejection of Democrats' "radical tax and spend" agenda.
His victory demonstrates that the people of Connecticut are sick and tired of the radical tax and spend agenda coming from Democrats in Hartford and in Washington, D.C. (3/6)— Republican State Leadership Committee (@RSLC) August 18, 2021
it’s more important than ever that we have strong Republican leadership in the states.
Tonight’s result is further evidence that Republicans are on offense this cycle, and the RSLC has no intention of slowing down when it comes to winning the tough fights ahead of us. (5/6)— Republican State Leadership Committee (@RSLC) August 18, 2021
The RSLC will continue to support state Republicans to ensure wins like this so that we can grow the future of our party and stop socialism from spreading to the states.” (6/6)— Republican State Leadership Committee (@RSLC) August 18, 2021
The next major electoral test for the Biden administration and Democrats is November's gubernatorial election in Virginia.
GOP fund-raising pitch amongst the good news? Because that’s all they care about with their supporters these days.
BFD!
Reads like red meat Mad Libs.
Too bad Biden didn’t actually win.
This isn't really about a change of voter's minds.
RE: Too bad Biden didn’t actually win.
Not even in Connecticut?
“Biden won this district by 25 points in 2020”
Sure he did.
Pelosi’s response: “this just shows how important it is to get our election bill passed.”
(so that we can render these damn election things irrelevant.)
I do not know this Gentleman, I hope he is not a RINO.
Will the marx-o-crats call for an audit?
Won’t do us much good if all we elect are Assistant Democrats.
An R jersey is meaningless.
These people all wear R jerseys and voted to help the Democrats destroy America:
Dan Sullivan (R-AK) Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) Mike Crapo (R-ID) Roy Blunt (R-MO) Richard Burr (R-NC) Deb Fischer (R-NE) Lindsey Graham (R-SC) Rob Portman (R-OH) Thom Tillis (R-NC) Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) Jim Risch (R-ID) Chuck Grassley (R-IA) Bill Cassidy (R-LA) Kevin Cramer (R-ND) Roger Wicker (R-MS) Mitch McConnell (R-KY) John Hoeven (R-ND) Susan Collins (R-ME) Mitt Romney (R-UT)
sure he did..............
Hopefully the canary in the coal mine
I don’t know what this means. Apparently, the fact that the Dem won in 2018 was unusual. This seat has been solid Republican for 75 years. What happened? Was it stolen in 2018 while Dems practiced their election fraud? I’m still glad of the victory!
And I wouldn’t be surprised if Biden would win that district by 25% again today.
“Won’t do us much good if all we elect are Assistant Democrats.”
I like that term. Has a lot of rhetorical power.
A very small step.
We must not seek R victories. We must seek victories for the Bill of Rights and the Constitution.
Not a dime’s worth of difference.
In that case find good candidates and contribute to them directly. Have you been doing that?
