It’s 2025 and next year’s congressional races are already heating up.
We’re learning more about U.S. Rep. John Larson’s seat in Connecticut’s First Congressional District. Columnist Dan Haar says the 2026 re-election bid will be Larson’s “toughest challenge” yet.
Are Larson’s age and health a primary factor in a prospective close race?
Today on The Wheelhouse, Dan Haar and constitutional scholar Akhil Reed Amar tackle that question and explore why the U.S. doesn’t have term limits for Congress.
Also, do you know if there’s lead in your home’s drinking water? We talk to the reporters behind a CT Mirror investigation that found lead in the water lines of thousands of Connecticut homes.
GUESTS:
- Akhil Reed Amar, professor of law and political science, Yale University
- Dan Haar, senior editor and columnist, CT Insider
- Colin McEnroe, host, "The Colin McEnroe Show"
