One case took place late last month, when three men from Mexico who were in the country illegally pleaded guilty…

Democrats’ anti-establishment surge just claimed another incumbent. Former Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin has ousted longtime Rep. John Larson in Connecticut’s 1st District in a race that revolved around generational change. The signs of an upset were apparent for months: Bronin, 47, beat the 78-year-old Larson for the state party’s official endorsement in the spring. He argued that Larson, who was facing the first serious challenge since he won his seat nearly three decades ago, had become too steeped in the status quo and needed to go.
