HARTFORD, Conn. — U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal and his supporters were confident as the polls closed Tuesday, with the longtime Democratic office-holder expecting to win his third six-year term.
The Associated Press called the race for Blumenthal shortly after the polls closed at 8 p.m.
In his victory speech, Blumenthal said, “I want to thank the working people and the Working Families Party of Connecticut, my union brothers and sisters, my team here, my team in Washington, D.C. ... I’m going to continue fighting tirelessly, relentlessly against the special interests.”
