Summary
Rhode Island’s governor faces a historic primary showdown as challenger Helena Foulkes, the same woman he beat four years ago, mounts a furious comeback—outraising him and capitalizing on his stalled Washington Bridge repairs. McKee, aiming to avoid becoming the first Rhode Island governor to lose a primary in over three decades, counters with safety claims and a timeline comparison to Baltimore’s bridge project, while launching a personal attack on Foulkes’ corporate past at CVS. Foulkes defends her record on opioid reduction and leverages her family’s political roots, warning McKee’s criticism could hurt Rhode Island’s business climate. With the winner likely to dominate the general election in a Democratic stronghold, this September 9 battle is shaping up as a defining clash of leadership, legacy, and priorities.
