McKee Faces Surge in Primary Opposition

Governor Dan McKee’s reelection bid is crumbling as 13 major city Democratic committees back challenger Helena Foulkes, leaving McKee with just two endorsements — and a new poll showing him trailing by 20 points. Foulkes’ momentum grows with local leaders rallying behind her plan to fund housing, schools, and jobs, while McKee’s campaign digs into her tax proposal. Elsewhere, incumbent Sabina Matos holds sway in Providence, but challenger Xay Khamsyvoravong gains ground in three other cities. In the attorney general race, Joe Solomon Jr. and Kim Ahern split endorsements, with Cranston still undecided. With weeks to go, every vote is a battleground — and the primary’s outcome is far from certain. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
