He has also faced several major challenges over the past year as well, including the Washington Bridge fiasco and a major cyberattack on the state's health care system that compromised the personal information of hundreds of thousands of Rhode Islanders.
Former CVS executive Helena Foulkes, who finished second behind McKee in the 2022 Democratic primary, is also expected to run in 2026.
