The two nominees for Connecticut's U.S. Senate seat, held by retiring Chris Dodd, are taking aim at one another's recent TV ads.
Republican Linda McMahon says her position on the minimum wage has been misconstrued and Democrat Richard Blumenthal says his rival's latest criticism of his military record is not new.
Monday marked the first face-to-face debate between the two candidates.
Just hours before the live, televised debate, McMahon released a TV ad featuring clips of Blumenthal appearing to suggest he served in Vietnam rather than stateside as a member of the Marine Reserve.
Over the weekend, Blumenthal began airing an ad that suggested McMahon would be willing to lower the minimum wage to help struggling businesses. McMahon says she was only talking about future increases.
