Incumbent Democratic Gov. Daniel McKee of Rhode Island suffered a devastating loss in his primary race on Wednesday, losing by almost 25 points.
As of Thursday morning, business executive Helena Foulkes had 62.4 percent of the vote to McKee’s 37.6 percent, with over 97 percent of the vote counted, according to NBC News.
Foulkes gained a strong lead early in the night and never looked back.
This is the first time in over 30 years that a sitting Rhode Island governor has been defeated in their primary, PBS reported.
Foulkes has served as an executive with the pharmaceutical chain CVS and with retailer Hudson’s Bay.
This race marked a rematch from 2022, when Foulkes ran against McKee in the Democratic primary but failed to secure the nomination, losing by only a few thousand votes.
“Tonight, we may have won the Democratic primary for governor, but let me be clear about what happens next: You will have a governor for everyone,” she told a crowd of supporters in Providence during her victory speech on Wednesday.
“Because there is so much work that needs to be done, and we need to do this together,” Foulkes added.
In his concession speech, McKee pledged to work with Foulkes to achieve a “smooth transition” as she prepares to face the GOP nominee in November.

At least not a named radical Islamic communist, but what “religion” of intolerance and hatred, what programs of persecution and social-communism will she maintain?
Just what New England needs. Another estrogen driven, over-emoting governor bleeding out of her eyes, out of her whatever...

I feel sorry for the people of Rhode Island if anyone associated with CVS wins.
By someone far to his left, I’m sure.
Katie Wilson, Brandon Johnson, and Zolton Mandami are leading the way.
Governor AWFL
e.e. cummings would have said "her et cetera."
I would prefer a rat poison vendor
But...
Okay.
She hasn't lead the life on an insane lefty. But who knows.
“After graduating from Harvard, she briefly worked at Goldman Sachs and Tiffany & Co before leaving to earn her MBA. She began working at CVS in 1992.On February 5, 2018, Hudson's Bay Co., owner of Saks Fifth Avenue, named Buonanno Foulkes its new CEO.
“She would seek to spur job growth, reduce regulations, deal with the effects of climate change, and improve public education.”
It seems that the voters of Rhode Island want real change in their leadership.
But are they willing to really get outside the box and vote republican?
The most recent Republican of Rhode Island was Gov. Don Carcieri who left office in 2011.

“She would seek to spur job growth, reduce regulations, deal with the effects of climate change, and improve public education.” “”””””””””””
Such necessary qualities for a CEO, right?
In other words, WOKE!!!!!!!!!!!
Wasn’t he the other half of that Kennedy sandwich?
I’m thinking DSA again.
Indeed.
“Just what New England needs. Another estrogen driven, over-emoting governor bleeding out of her eyes, out of her whatever...”
Yep. The matriarchy continues its relentless march to power. They’re pretty much there.
One might think Illinois or New York or California is the most corrupt state in the union and they wouldn’t be far wrong. However, there is no more corrupt ten acre lot than Rhode Island. This tiny patch of seething $hit is indefensibly evil. It’s known as Bostons parking lot but it might better be known as the nations back room.
Until the islamic invasion is completed... About 3 years from now, women will learn, beginning at age 10, what their long-term role will be...
