Sen. Chris Murphy now has a GOP challenger in the general election in Connecticut as he seeks a third term.
Military veteran Matthew Corey has won the Republican primary to face Democratic Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy in the fall. Corey, who owns a bar in Hartford, Connecticut, was runner-up in the state GOP’s nominating convention in May. He previously lost to Murphy in 2018. He defeated insurance agent and small-town official Gerry Smith, who was favored by the Connecticut Republican Party.
The Democratic senator came to national attention as the congressman representing Newtown in 2012 when the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting took place. Murphy is seeking a third term in the Senate, having been first elected in 2012. While he’s the runaway favorite to win his seat again, the victory is nevertheless welcome padding for Democrats as they face the prospect of losing their razor-thin Senate majority.
