McKee Faces Endorsement Blowback

Governor Dan McKee faces a major blow in his reelection bid as his own hometown’s Democratic Town Committee endorsed challenger Helena Foulkes 30-11, calling for fresh leadership and a break from the status quo. Meanwhile, McKee gains unexpected support from Rhode Island’s largest healthcare union, which praises him for saving key hospitals. In a new campaign ad, McKee shifts focus from attacking Foulkes to showcasing his grit, admitting he’s not the most polished governor but emphasizing his real-world wins — like fighting Trump to save the Revolution Wind project — and claiming his actions, not image, get results.
