Blumenthal, Murphy and Himes Provide Late Endorsement of Ganim.

With state Senator Marilyn Moore’s legal challenge of Bridgeport’s September Democratic mayoral primary result failing on Thursday, other Democrats have deemed it safe to endorse incumbent Joseph Ganim’s re-election. Senators Richard Blumenthal and Christopher Murphy joined U.S. Representative Jim Himes in providing a late campaign boost to Ganim. The trio, according to a Ganim tweet, hail the mayor”as a tireless voice in his efforts and leadership on behalf of the Park City.”

Moore, who nearly tipped over Ganim in the September contest, will continue through Tuesday as a long shot write-in candidate.

The endorsement of Ganim, who was convicted of corruption during his first stint as mayor and served a lengthy prison sentence, may dent Blumenthal’s hankering for a reputation for rectitude as proceedings related to the impeachment of Donald Trump continue. Himes is at the center of the House investigation as a high-ranking member of the intelligence committee. Himes’ embrace of Ganim may hand some grist to Trump’s platoon of blind loyalists as the daily combat over the one-time steak salesman’s sellout of American interests continues.
