U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal and Gov. Ned Lamont complained Friday that the Trump administration has yet to release federal energy grants terminated a year ago on the basis of whether the recipients were in states won by Kamala Harris in 2024 and are represented by Democratic senators.

Gov. Ned Lamont defeated liberal challenger Josh Elliott in a primary Tuesday that tested Democrats’ allegiance to a more moderate incumbent, who guided Connecticut through a pandemic and presided over an unprecedented string of budget surpluses and a major tax cut.
