Connecticut has not elected a Republican to statewide office since Jodi Rell was elected governor in 2006. Lamont is heavily favored in this reliably blue-leaning state, though a crowded Republican primary may impact general election dynamics.

Richard Blumenthal

Richard Blumenthal
Safe D
Connecticut is a safely Democratic state and Blumenthal has won re-election decisively in 2016 and 2022. The 2028 race is unlikely to be competitive given Connecticut's partisan lean and Blumenthal's strong electoral performance.
