Joe Ganim Secures Victory in Bridgeport Democratic Primary

Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim claimed victory in a special court-ordered Democratic primary election, securing a significant lead in both in-person and absentee votes against his rival John Gomes. Ganim's win comes after the 2023 primary was overturned due to widespread absentee ballot fraud. The victory positions Ganim for another term as mayor, but he may face a new general election in February. The election results reflect the ongoing controversy surrounding absentee voting in Bridgeport, with Ganim emphasizing the legitimacy of his win and Gomes considering options for a potential second general election.
