Connecticut State Sen. Julie Kushner said she felt concerned in June after President Joe Biden’s poor debate performance against former president Donald Trump.
She had a different reaction Tuesday night after watching Vice President Kamala Harris go up against Trump.
“We can win this,” Kushner said.
Kushner watched the debate alongside other Democrats at the local party headquarters in Danbury. Many attendees had high expectations, and people like Kushner praised her ability to counter Trump’s attacks. They say they’re seeing excitement in Connecticut even with voters who they previously thought of as supportive of the former president.
