HARTFORD, Conn. — In a surprise to Republicans, former President Donald Trump endorsed Leora Levy for U.S. Senate on Thursday night — throwing drama into Tuesday’s Republican primary.
Republican and Democratic insiders had said earlier Thursday that Trump might be making a move for Levy — and he did several hours later.
The endorsement came via a live telephone call during an outdoor gathering for Republicans in Montville that was attended by numerous candidates, including the party-endorsed candidate Themis Klarides and conservative Peter Lumaj.
