A former CVS executive is projected to win the Democratic nomination for governor. Helena Foulkes is expected to defeat the current governor, Dan McKee, according to CNN projections. Foulkes capitalized on voter frustration over the partial closure of a key bridge and resulting traffic chaos.

The bridge in question had its westbound lanes closed in 2023 due to fears of a possible collapse. The prolonged repairs became a political liability for McKee as he sought a second elected term. Further details on the election and its outcome are available from the source.
