Rhode Island Governor Daniel J. McKee faces the potential of losing his party’s primary due to low poll numbers and criticism over his handling of issues such as the closure of the Washington Bridge, which disrupted daily commute and raised questions of accountability. His challenger, Helena Buonanno Foulkes, has gained support by criticizing his management, especially over the bridge crisis, and has secured endorsements from major city Democratic committees, signaling a significant challenge to his incumbency. Polls show McKee's approval rating is extremely low, and despite some support in working-class areas, his vulnerability is heightened by ongoing criticisms of his administration’s responses to infrastructure failures and other issues.
