州众议员乔希·埃利奥特：友善“解决不了民生负担”、“无法反击法西斯主义”，这场高风险竞选战况激烈
作者：查尔斯·克莱茨 福克斯新闻
康涅狄格州民主党州长内德·拉蒙特并非唐纳德·特朗普总统的支持者，但他的进步派初选对手、州众议员乔希·埃利奥特称他与特朗普过于亲近。
拉蒙特周二在一场高风险的新英格兰州初选中击败了埃利奥特，而该州不久前刚从竞争激烈的摇摆州转变为稳固的民主党票仓。
来自哈姆登的民主党议员埃利奥特将拉蒙特描绘成对特朗普“过于友善”，称“如今友善本身就是个问题”。
“友善解决不了民生负担，也解决不了法西斯主义问题，更无法反击法西斯主义，”埃利奥特在接受《康涅狄格镜报》采访时表示。

“[内德]可以整天摆出友善姿态，但这在当下就是个软肋。”
而拉蒙特则对该媒体表示，“空谈不值钱”，并称与任职近八年的现任州长的政绩相比，埃利奥特几乎拿不出像样的施政纲领。
拉蒙特团队希望在该州推行单一支付者医保体系，并为学前教育增加更多资源。康涅狄格州正日益成为纽约市、普罗维登斯和波士顿都会区的通勤卫星城。

拉蒙特将在11月的大选中迎战格林威治州参议员、共和党人瑞安·法齐奥。
尽管如今已是稳固的蓝州，但康涅狄格州不久前还曾有多位共和党籍国会议员和长期任职的共和党州长，包括后来入狱的约翰·罗兰。
在里根时代至2010年期间，共和党人长期把持康涅狄格州州长职位，时任州长M·乔迪·赖尔决定不再寻求连任，民主党人丹内尔·马利接任该职。

Trump looms over blue state primary as progressive gov faces far-left challenge
August 11, 2026 8:31pm EDT / Fox News
State Rep Josh Elliott says niceness ‘doesn’t solve affordability’ or ‘fight back against fascism’ in high-stakes race
By Charles Creitz Fox News
Connecticut Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont is no fan of President Donald Trump, but his progressive primary challenger, state Rep. Josh Elliott, says he’s too cozy with the president.
Lamont defeated Elliott in a high-stakes New England primary Tuesday in a state that not long ago shifted from competitive territory to reliably Democratic.
Elliott, D-Hamden, painted Lamont as too “nice” to Trump, saying that being “nice is a problem right now.”
“Nice doesn’t solve affordability. Nice doesn’t solve fascism or fight back against fascism,” Elliott told the Connecticut Mirror.

“[Ned] can be nice all day long, but that’s a liability right now.”
Lamont, meanwhile, told the outlet that “talk is cheap” and said Elliott has little to offer compared with the incumbent’s record during his nearly eight years in office.
Lamont’s camp said it wants to see single-payer healthcare and additional resources for early childhood education in the state. Connecticut is increasingly becoming a bedroom community for the New York City, Providence and Boston metropolitan areas.

Lamont faces state Sen. Ryan Fazio, R-Greenwich, in the November general election.
While now reliably blue, Connecticut not long ago had several Republicans in Congress and GOP governors with staying power, including John Rowland, who was later imprisoned.
Republicans held Connecticut’s governorship for much of the period between the Reagan era and 2010, when the late Gov. M. Jodi Rell decided against seeking another term and Democrat Dannel Malloy succeeded her.
