Malloy was reelected in 2014, once again winning a narrow victory over the same 2010 Republican opponent he beat in 2010, businessman Tom Foley. His second term had a markedly different tone--the once hyper engaged governor was seen by some as less focused on state matters as he roamed the region campaigning for Hillary Clinton. It was widely believed that Malloy would land a job in the Clinton presidential administration but that likelihood was dashed when she lost to Republican Donald Trump. As chairman of the Democratic Governors Association, Malloy traveled out of state to attend events and raise money for other Democratic candidates.
