Governor-elect Dannel Malloy is in Washington, D.C., attending meetings for new governors at the famed Blair House - across the street from the White House.
President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden delivered remarks to the governors at lunch.
The following is part of the pool report from the event by Laura Meckler of The Wall Street Journal. POTUS is the acronym used for the President.
"POTUS gave welcoming, bipartisan remarks to newly elected governors assembled for lunch at Blair House, including a pitch for renewed unemployment benefits.
"Your pooler was in place at Blair House and unable to simultaneously be on Pennsylvania Avenue to witness his walk across the street. But according to the very reliable Darlene Superville of the AP, the president walked across the street with VPOTUS and Valerie Jarrett a few minutes after 1 p.m. and offered a wave but no words to the supplementary street-crossing pool.''
