Democratic Rep. John Larson loses his primary to opponent calling for generational change

Democratic Rep. John Larson of Connecticut lost his primary race to former Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin. The 78-year-old 14-term incumbent, who represented central Connecticut since the late 1990s, received 34% of the vote compared to Bronin's 54%. Larson is the seventh House Democrat ousted in a primary this year, contributing to a record cycle for Democratic primary losses. This result reflects a broader push by voters for generational change and younger leadership within the Democratic party.
