Rep John Larson's primary election loss may not end his re-election bid after all. The Working Families Party endorsement gives him a possible route onto Connecticut's November ballot. The 14-term Democrat has not said whether he will use it after losing to Luke Bronin on 11 August.

With 99% of votes tallied by the afternoon of 12 August 2026, Bronin had about 54 per cent to Larson's nearly 33 per cent. A Larson campaign spokesperson had no comment on 12 August 2026 about whether he would stay in the race or when a decision might come.
