Democratic incumbent Sen. Chris Murphy and Republican candidate Matt Corey are scheduled to participate in a debate on Wednesday evening ahead of the 2024 U.S. Senate election in Connecticut. The debate will be moderated by News 8’s Dennis House and Kathryn Hauser, starting at 7 p.m. in News 8’s New Haven studio. Viewers can watch the debate live on News 8 or WTNH.com.
Both candidates expressed eagerness for the debate, with Murphy highlighting the opportunity to showcase the differences between them and the presidential candidates they support. Meanwhile, Corey emphasized his goal of presenting his ideas to the voters to demonstrate his potential to enhance their lives and promote peace globally.
This election marks the second face-off between Murphy and Corey, with the latter having previously run against Murphy in 2018.

The upcoming debate provides an opportunity for voters to compare and evaluate the stances and visions of the two candidates running for the U.S. Senate seat in Connecticut.
