Does George Logan Stand By Bona Fide MAGA Extremist Donald Trump?

George Logan – whose own record is riddled with extreme anti-abortion and anti-gun safety rhetoric – is desperately trying to distance himself from federally-indicted and bona fide MAGA extremist Donald Trump.

Just this week, yet again, the defeated former president made bombastic, horrific comments that led to bipartisan outrage. The Hartford Courant reported the painful extent to which Logan is avoiding the Trump boogey-man subject altogether: 

In sign of a fractured Republican Party, Logan declined to talk directly about former President Donald J. Trump.

Asked by The Courant if he would campaign with Trump in Connecticut if they are both on the ballot in 2024, Logan responded, “Look, Republicans are going to decide who the nominee is. My goal right now is to win the 5th Congressional seat. Look, the only endorsements I’m looking for are from the voters in the 5th Congressional District.”

Democrats note that Trump has been vulnerable in the 5th district, losing there in 2016 to Hillary Rodham Clinton and in 2020 to Joe Biden. With a high voter turnout expected in 2024, Democrats believe they have the wind at their back in a district where Democrats have won the seat every two years since Chris Murphy defeated longtime Republican incumbent Nancy Johnson in a stunning upset in 2006.

DCCC Spokesperson Ellie Dougherty:
“George Logan is lying when he says he’ll be bipartisan in Washington. If Logan wants to prove us wrong, Connecticut’s Fifth District deserves to know: does he stand by bona fide MAGA extremist Donald Trump?”
