Rhode Island is a safe Democratic state and the general election is rated Solid Democratic by multiple analysts. However, McKee's historically low approval ratings and competitive Democratic primary make the primary (September 8, 2026) the real contest. A Foulkes victory in the primary would likely result in a Democratic governor; a McKee primary win would still favor Democrats in the general election given the state's strong Democratic lean.
