Connecticut Gov. Lamont Seriously Considers Third Term Amid Uncertainty

News summary

Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont has indicated a strong inclination to seek a third term in the 2026 election amid ongoing economic uncertainties and political challenges under President Donald Trump's administration. While he has not officially declared his candidacy, Lamont emphasized the importance of experienced leadership during this complicated period, citing his successful navigation of the COVID pandemic and cooperation with both political parties. He expressed that the state has made extraordinary progress over the past decade and praised the teamwork with Lt. Governor Susan Bysiewicz. Lamont acknowledged that a year ago he might have stepped aside but now feels compelled to maintain the positive momentum, especially given the unpredictable climate in Washington.

A final decision on his run will be made after further discussions with his family and team, with no set timeline for the announcement.
