March 2, 2021 1:33 pm PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) – Lieutenant Governor Dan McKee received his COVID-19 shot Tuesday, hours before he’s expected to be sworn in as the 76th Governor of Rhode Island. Governor Gina Raimondo is in Washington D.C., awaiting this afternoon’s vote by the U.S. Senate on her nomination as Commerce Secretary. When Raimondo resigns as governor, McKee will be sworn in in a private ceremony. He said he will hold a public swearing-in event this weekend. An empty Dunk… except for RI media! Awaiting @LGDanMcKee on his big day. @ABC6pic.twitter.com/mvjGj72jn1 McKee was vaccinated at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center, where he later addressed the media. He said he texted Raimondo Tuesday morning to enjoy the moment and said she responded for him to do a good job by the state, adding that she has confidence that he will.
