LAMONT: NOT A SCHUMER FAN. This anecdote is a few hours old now, but Alec Oveis reported that early this evening he ran into Ned Lamont in CT-05 and they chatted for a few minutes. DSCC chair Chuck Schumer‘s name came up. Lamont shook his head ruefully (ok, remember, this is secondhand — from Alec’s description, I detected some rue) and said, to paraphrase, “Schumer…Schumer was pretty hard on us. He played this very tactically from day one.” His meaning — “Schumer screwed me” — seemed plain enough.
