HARTFORD, Conn. — In an increasingly bitter campaign, U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal battled Republican Leora Levy Wednesday night on inflation, taxes, the economy, and abortion.
In their only debate, Blumenthal portrayed himself as a champion for Connecticut consumers by fighting special interests and supporting abortion rights.
During the one-hour contest that was televised live on Channel 3, Levy launched various criticisms at Blumenthal, including noting that he said he served in Vietnam during the war when he did not.
