"I think that the endorsement is a net positive for Leora, but probably too little and too late," said one Connecticut GOP consultant who requested anonymity. "His endorsement came Thursday night, so too late for any direct mail pieces to hit before Tuesday. Sure, she's been texting and pumping it through social media, but I do not think it will saturate enough to make enough of a difference.
"If this was a month ago, I'd be concerned if I was Themis, but at this point, I think it is probably too late."
Another factor working in Klarides' favor is that the endorsement of the state convention still packs a punch among Republicans who turn out for primaries. Only two Republicans running for statewide office in the past 36 years have won the May convention and lost the primary — Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton won the convention for governor in 2018 and lost to businessman Bob Stefanowski in the primary, and in 1986 State Sen. Dick Bozzuto won the convention but lost the primary to State Rep. Julie Belaga.

We can fight with our votes or we can give into the hellhole dems want our country to become... Thanks for sharing the good news.
Blumenthal light, funny..

Declared victory: Leora R. Levy has declared victory as the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate. NBC News had called the race in Levy's favor although it was not yet called by the Associated Press.
Levy would face incumbent Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal in November. Levy won the race with the lion’s share of votes, pulling in about 50 percent in the three-person field. Runner-up Themis Klarides had about 40 percent of the vote shortly after 10:30 p.m. and had been the party’s choice for the seat. But Levy got a late campaign boost last week when former President Donald Trump called into a statewide Republican event to endorse.
Now they’ll find all the mail ins. US elections are pathetic. Saw Levy on tv, very impressive, anti communist Cuban immigrant .
