On Tuesday, Vice President Kamala Harris secured victory in Connecticut, reinforcing the state’s consistent support for Democratic presidential candidates. This triumph contributes an additional seven electoral votes to her overall count. It is noteworthy that this year’s election marks the ninth successive occasion that residents of Connecticut have selected a Democratic candidate for the presidency. The last time a Republican candidate managed to win the state was back in 1988, when George H.W. Bush was at the helm.

Former President Donald Trump has faced defeat in Connecticut on three separate occasions: first against Hillary Clinton, then Joe Biden, and now against Harris. The victory was officially announced at 8:00 p.m. EST, confirming Harris as the winner in this solidly Democratic state.
