Rhode Island Governor Dan McKee has lost the Democratic gubernatorial primary to Helena Foulkes, a former CVS executive. McKee's defeat marks the first time a sitting governor nationwide has lost a primary election in eight years.
Foulkes secured the victory after centering her campaign on public criticism of McKee's handling of Providence's Washington bridge. Due to the infrastructure issues, the bridge project is now not expected to be completed until 2028.
