In a “stunning move,” Joe Visconti (I) said he was dropping out of the race for Connecticut governor and endorsing Tom Foley (R), the Hartford Courant reports.
“The move could provide a boost to Foley in a race recent polls have put at a dead heat… Visconti said he was dropping out because he doesn’t want to see Democratic incumbent Dan Malloy re-elected.”
Said Visconti: “This is a dogfight and I couldn’t let Gov. Malloy win.”
