Rhode Island governor race intensifies as McKee faces Foulkes in tough Democratic primary

Rhode Island Gov. Dan McKee is in a narrow Democratic primary against Helena Foulkes, a former CVS executive. McKee has attacked Foulkes as an out-of-touch corporate candidate and touted labor endorsements, while Foulkes defends CVS’s record, including opioid-related settlements and her leadership there. The contest highlights party divisions, with McKee carrying some labor support and Foulkes seeking to broaden her base, including ties to McKee’s hometown. The race features contrasting visions of leadership and accountability in a state where neither the state Democratic Party nor the AFL‑CIO endorsed a candidate.

Minogue cruises to Massachusetts GOP governor nomination

Mike Minogue won the Massachusetts Republican gubernatorial primary in a landslide over Brian Shortsleeve, taking roughly 80% of the vote to Shortsleeve’s about 29% and advancing to a November matchup with Gov. Maura Healey. He framed the victory as a movement and thanked supporters; Healey and Democrats labeled him MAGA-aligned, while Shortsleeve endorsed him after the result. Minogue, a former Abiomed CEO, previously dominated the state GOP convention, signaling momentum heading into the general election where Trump-aligned attacks are expected to intensify.

Lindell Refuses to Concede Minnesota GOP Governor Primary as Demuth Clinches Victory

MyPillow founder Mike Lindell refused to concede Minnesota’s Republican governor primary after Lisa Demuth’s decisive lead (roughly 43.4% to 32.4%), saying votes remain to be counted and questioning the outcome. Demuth celebrated the victory and urged focus on the November race, while Lindell recently stepped down as MyPillow’s CEO to pursue the campaign and has a history of promoting election‑integrity claims; Trump endorsed Lindell. In the Democratic primary, Amy Klobuchar won the DFL race.

Benson Triumphs in Michigan Democratic Governor Primary, Sets Sights on James

Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson won Michigan’s Democratic gubernatorial primary by a wide margin over Chris Swanson, advancing to the November general election to face Republican John James; her familiarity as state secretary of state and strong fundraising helped her path, while the mostly cordial primary contrasted with ongoing questions about ties to data centers linked to her husband. Benson is set to launch a robust general-election campaign with a planned $10 million ad buy, focusing on kitchen-table issues like costs, wages and rights.

Trump Backs Pamela Evette in SC Governor Race with Sweeping Voting-Restriction Plan

Trump endorsed Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette in South Carolina’s GOP gubernatorial primary, backing a candidate who has outlined a sweeping voting-restriction agenda—ending the “reasonable impediment” ID option, requiring citizenship proof for registration, expanding purge methods and data sharing, using federal voter data systems, and creating an Election Integrity Unit to police alleged fraud—positions critics say would curb access to the ballot. The endorsement underscores Trump’s pattern of backing loyalists on voting rights, while Evette’s lead in polls is narrow and the ultimate impact of the backing remains uncertain.
