"Michigan Democrats Regain House Majority in Special Elections"

Democrats in Michigan won special elections in two metro Detroit-based districts, restoring their majority in the state House of Representatives. Mai Xiong and Peter Herzberg, both Democrats, secured victories and will join the state House, giving Democrats a razor-thin, one-vote majority. The wins could end the legislative gridlock that has defined the tied chamber for the past several months, allowing Democrats to move forward with their priorities. The Democratic victories were celebrated by the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee and President Joe Biden's campaign, and the special elections come ahead of the November elections where every seat in the Michigan House of Representatives is up for election.
