Ryan Fazio secured the Republican nomination for Connecticut governor after winning roughly 92% of delegate support at the May 2026 state convention, far exceeding the threshold needed to avoid a primary challenge. Other candidates, including Erin Stewart and Betsy McCaughey, suspended their campaigns and endorsed Fazio, clearing the field ahead of the August 11 primary date. The primary was subsequently canceled, leaving Fazio unopposed on the ballot as the party’s consensus choice against incumbent Democrat Ned Lamont. Trader consensus at 100% for Fazio reflects these developments and the absence of viable remaining opponents. Late shifts remain theoretically possible only through unforeseen ballot access issues or party rule changes, though no such developments have surfaced.
