With the clocking winding down on the 2026 session the Rhode Island Senate ran through a lost list of legislation rapid fire on Thursday, June 4. Among the bills addressed, the upper chamber in the Ocean state took up and without debate unanimously passed -- 37-0 -- a measure to shift the presidential primary to Super Tuesday starting in 2028. S 2491 would move the Rhode Island presidential primary from the fourth Tuesday in April to the first Tuesday in March, Super Tuesday.

Noteworthy: Separate bills with identical language have now navigated through their respective chambers of origin. The House version passed at the end of April and has been in the Senate since early May. The session adjourns on June 30.--
