Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox election Шаблон:Elections in Connecticut The 1988 United States Senate election in Connecticut took place on November 8, 1988. Incumbent Republican U.S. Senator Lowell Weicker ran for re-election to a fourth term, but was narrowly defeated by Democrat Joe Lieberman, the Connecticut Attorney General and eventual 2000 nominee for Vice President of the United States, who would remain in office until 2013.
Both Weicker and Lieberman would go on to win state-wide elections as independents, in 1990 for governor and in 2006 for Senate respectively. Joe Lieberman's swearing-in marked the first time since 1971 that Democrats held both Senate seats from Connecticut.
