Vice President Kamala Harris and Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy secured victories in the state of Connecticut in the 2024 election, according to CBS News projections. Harris won Connecticut’s electoral votes, while Murphy was reelected to his Senate seat. Nationally, former President Donald Trump is projected to win the presidential race, becoming the 47th President of the United States.

Additionally, Connecticut voters approved the “No-Excuse Absentee Voting Amendment,” allowing any voter in the state to request a mail-in ballot without having to provide a specific reason.
