RI-01 Special Election Megathread

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

I think we can officially call this a clown car. And since Rhode Island has plurality primaries we could easily see someone win with less that 30%

This isn't a clown car. It's two clown cars, forcibly thrown together and dumped on a big travel bus.

Does anyone break 33% at this point?

Likely, no.

I'm announcing my candidacy for RI-01 as well

Nelson Aldritch's ghost has registered as a Democrat and is joining in the race as well. He says there isn't enough candidates and people don't have enough choices to vote for. They need to be able to have a ghost in the race! So he claims.
He is running on his record of progressive reform and taxing the rich, through the income tax.
(just joking)

This stampede can't let a Republican vulture a win via primary lockout, can it?

Thankfully, it seems this is a simple separate party primary, leading to general election. So there will only be one Dem candidate...

Has Cano underperformed expectations?
