House Speaker Nancy Pelosi cruised through the Ocean State on Sunday to stump for underdog governor hopeful Helena Foulkes ahead of the Tuesday primary battle.
Hailing Foulkes as the"full package," the top Democrat in Congress muscled through the nation's smallest state during a campaign event in which she touted Foulkes's job-creating credentials and recounted fondly Foulkes’s late mother, Martha Dodd Buonanno, who was the House speaker's college roommate.
Recent stumbles by leading heavyweights in the Democratic gubernatorial primary contest have given Foulkes a glimmer of hope that she can pull off an upset victory despite trailing incumbent Gov. Dan McKee and Secretary of State Nellie Gorbea in recent polling. Meanwhile, McKee has faced criticism for his handling of massive floods that struck the Ocean State last week and has recently been mired in a tiff with CVS over an ad insinuating the company played a role in the opioid crisis.
