Gov. Ned Lamont made it into a Democratic National Convention joke on the “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.”
The convention is underway in Chicago.

“Here, check out the ad the Democrats just put out,” he said, and showed a video that included a woman’s silhouette and the titles of several Taylor Swift songs.
