Helena Foulkes Claims Rhode Island Democratic Nomination, Toppling Incumbent McKee

Helena Foulkes, a former CVS executive, defeated incumbent Gov. Dan McKee in Rhode Island's Democratic primary, aided by a three-to-one spending edge and polls showing McKee’s unpopularity over the Washington Bridge closure; the loss makes McKee the first sitting governor to lose a primary in eight years and positions Foulkes as the front-runner in a blue Rhode Island.
