U.S. Rep. Chris Murphy, who is expected to easily walk away from today’s Democratic Convention with the nomination for U.S. Senate, just told reporters at the event he expects the party will send opponent Susan Bysiewicz “a pretty strong message” members want unity.
The ex-Secretary of the State is anticipated to receive the necessary 15 percent of the vote to mount an August primary against Murphy.
“I think it would be better if this party got on the same page and we focused on (likely GOP nominee) Linda McMahon,” Murphy said.
Murphy said he has not spoken with Bysiewicz.
