Do Connecticut leaders want President Biden to bow out of race?

HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH) — Does Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) think President Joe Biden should drop out of the race?

Blumenthal said Wednesday that he’ll support Biden if he’s the Democrat’s nominee.

“I am deeply concerned about Joe Biden winning this November, because it is a threat if Donald Trump wins,” Blumenthal said. “So, we have to reach a conclusion as soon as possible.”

Hartford Mayor Arunan Arulampalam said he was on a call with Biden on Wednesday.

“A lot of it was positive things he’s done for cities, his plans for years ahead,” Arulampalam said. “He talk about the [debate] performance, saying, ‘It’s a bad night,’ that he wasn’t feeling great.”

The mayor said the call lasted 45 minutes and that Biden took questions. Arulampalam said he’ll support the Democratic nominee.
