Republican George Logan has pulled ahead of Rep. Jahana Hayes (D-CT) in a competitive congressional race in the Democrat stronghold of Connecticut, according to a poll published Thursday.
Multiple polls show that vulnerable Democrats across the country are in danger of losing reelection three months from the midterm elections.
Former Connecticut State Sen. George Logan (R-17) is just five points behind his opponent, Rep. Jahana Hayes (D-CT), and nearly within the margin of error, in the race for Connecticut’s Fifth Congressional District, according to a poll.
Rep. Jahana Hayes (D-CT), who is black, played the race card during a virtual town hall to explain that “white liberals” only elected her because they felt bad for her. Her Republican opponent, George Logan, who is also black, released a statement slamming her for exploiting race.
