| Description | Retiring Sen. Joe Lieberman (Conn.), the Democrat-turned-independent, who has had a rocky relationship with his former party over the years, says he may back the Republican nominee in the race for his seat.
Lieberman told The Hill he may endorse former Rep. Chris Shays (R-Conn.), a longtime friend. But he is not expected to make a decision before next year.
Lieberman and Shays have known each other for more than 35 years. They met as members of the Connecticut state legislature and Lieberman’s mother was a loyal political supporter of Shays.
“I’m totally open on it,” Lieberman said. “I’m approaching it as an independent and will support whoever, at the end when a candidate is nominated, would be best for the state.” |
