AP Decision Notes: What to expect in Michigan on Election Day
Michigan's election on November 5, 2024, will feature a slew of competitive contests that could tip the balance of power both in Washington and Lansing. The state's Senate and House races, governor's office, and state Legislature all have significant implications.
Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed, a former public health official, is seeking to unseat Republican incumbent Gary Peters, who is retiring after two terms. El-Sayed's victory alongside Republican Mike Rogers' win would mark a significant moment for national politics, as both have received endorsements from prominent figures like President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and former President Barack Obama.
In the gubernatorial race, Democratic Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson faces off against Republican Rep. John James. The outcome of this contest, along with the six most populous counties in Michigan, will be crucial in determining the balance of power in the state.
