Meanwhile, Ned Lamont (D) will be helping out Joe Courtney (D) today, who is challenging Simmons.
Lieberman had previously endorsed Courtney and exactly two weeks ago said he would continue to support Courtney as well as the other Democratic House candidates:

Lieberman will appear with two prominent Republicans, Gov. M. Jodi Rell and U.S. Rep. Rob Simmons, R-2nd, to celebrate last year's reversal of a Pentagon decision to close the Groton submarine base.
Meanwhile, Ned Lamont (D) will be helping out Joe Courtney (D) today, who is challenging Simmons.
Lieberman had previously endorsed Courtney and exactly two weeks ago said he would continue to support Courtney as well as the other Democratic House candidates:
Lieberman said that he will continue to support the Democrats running for Congress even though they now support Lamont.
"It is a little bit harder, but I have endorsed the three of them," he said. Lieberman endorsed Joe Courtney over Rep. Rob Simmons, R-2, and Chris Murphy over Rep. Nancy Johnson, R-5.
