Connecticut Democrats have selected Ned Lamont. I will be supporting and working for his election in November.
"The Democratic voters of Connecticut have spoken and chosen Ned Lamont as their nominee. Both we and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) fully support Mr. Lamont's candidacy. Congratulations to Ned on his victory and on a race well run.
"Joe Lieberman has been an effective Democratic Senator for Connecticut and for America. But the perception was that he was too close to George Bush and this election was, in many respects, a referendum on the President more than anything else. The results bode well for Democratic victories in November and our efforts to take the country in a new direction."
Senator Bayh supported Senator Lieberman in the primary because of his respect for Senator Lieberman's service and their long friendship. The Democratic voters of Connecticut have spoken, and Senator Bayh respects their choice and will support their nominee.
Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., who campaigned for Lieberman, called after Lieberman's concession to offer her support, Lamont campaign manager Tom Swan said.
