Democrats' Mayoral Wins in Michigan Temporarily Disrupt Party's Control of State Government
TL;DR Summary
Michigan Democrats, who had full control of state government, have lost their slim majority in the House of Representatives due to two Democratic legislators winning mayoral races in Detroit suburbs. When the legislators vacate their seats, the House will be evenly divided, leading to a partisan stalemate. Governor Gretchen Whitmer is expected to call special elections to fill the vacant seats, but the outcome remains uncertain. Republicans hope to win back the House in the 2024 election cycle.
