"Michigan Democrats Secure Full Statehouse Control in Special Election Victory"

Michigan Democrats won two special elections to regain control of the statehouse after losing their majority in 2023 when two House members left to become mayors. The victories of Mai Xiong and Peter Herzberg in liberal strongholds have restored the Democrats' full control at the Michigan Capitol, where they aim to advance their policy goals. However, Republicans are hopeful that the Democrats' renewed majority will be short-lived, as Michigan is expected to be a pivotal presidential battleground, and all 110 Michigan House seats are up for election in November.
