With a little less than a year until the September 2026 Democratic primary, Gov. Dan McKee and Rob Silverstein — who started as McKee’s campaign manager in early June — have agreed to go their separate ways. “The McKee campaign and Rob Silverstein have mutually agreed to part ways,” the governor’s campaign said in a brief statement. Former CVS Health executive Helena Foulkes narrowly lost the Democratic primary to McKee in 2022. House Speaker Joe Shekarchi is considering a run for governor and he has almost $4 million in his campaign account.
