Rhode Island's incumbent governor Dan McKee loses Democratic primary to Helena Foulkes
Rhode Island Governor Dan McKee has lost the Democratic gubernatorial primary to former CBS executive Helena Foulkes. This marks the first time a sitting governor has lost a primary election in nearly a decade. Foulkes is now the favorite to win the general election in the reliably blue state.
McKee's defeat is attributed to public frustration over the handling of the Washington Bridge scandal, which became a symbol of dysfunction in his administration and directly impacted the daily lives of Rhode Islanders.
