Rhode Island governor trails challenger in new Democratic primary poll

In Rhode Island, Governor Dan McKee is facing a surprising challenge from Helena Foulkes in the Democratic primary, with Foulkes holding a 15-point lead according to a recent poll by Emerson College Polling and Nexstar affiliate WPRI-TV 12. Foulkes, a former CVS health official, has garnered 45 percent support compared to McKee's lower numbers. This shift in polling is significant as it could indicate a major realignment in party support and could influence the broader political landscape if Foulkes ends up defeating McKee in the primary.
