In Connecticut, Republican candidates Gerry Smith and Matthew Corey are vying in the August 13 primary to challenge incumbent Senator Chris Murphy in the November election. Smith, a Beacon Falls first selectman with multiple local election wins, is backed by his party and emphasizes experience and economic issues. Corey, a Navy veteran and pub owner who previously ran against Murphy in 2018, adopts a populist stance and focuses on working-class concerns and tougher immigration policies. Despite their efforts, both candidates face significant fundraising challenges compared to Murphy, who has a substantial campaign fund. Murphy, a Democrat with growing national prominence, is seeking a third Senate term with a substantial financial advantage. Early voting for the primary is available from August 5 to August 11, with in-person voting on August 13.
