Rhode Island Dems Split from McKee

Rhode Island Democrats are turning the tables ahead of the primaries, with local party leaders backing Helena Foulkes over incumbent Gov. Dan McKee — a move that echoes last cycle’s rejection of the sitting governor and lieutenant governor. Foulkes is gaining momentum with union endorsements while McKee counters by attacking her corporate past. Meanwhile, Xay Khamsyvoravong is favored for lieutenant governor, and the attorney general race remains wide open with no endorsement from the chairs. With the state convention looming, the battle for Rhode Island’s top offices is heating up — and it’s far from over. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
