Episode Details

Rhode Island’s political tide just turned as Governor Dan McKee lost his Democratic primary to businesswoman Helena Foulkes — a stunning upset and the first time since 2018 a sitting governor has been ousted by their own party before November. Foulkes, who previously ran against him in 2022 and now sits on Costco’s board after her CVS days, capitalized on McKee’s handling of state issues like the Washington Bridge closure, while McKee attacked her corporate ties and CVS’s role in the opioid crisis. With Foulkes now heading into the general election against a Republican nominee and independents, Rhode Island is poised for a major leadership shift — and this race could reshape the state’s future.
