We barely held on to Michigan in 2024 — Democrat Elissa Slotkin won by just 0.3%. Now with Gary Peters announcing he won’t seek re-election in 2026, Republicans are setting their sights on flipping this state red in 2026.
Experts at the Cook Political Report rank this as a toss-up — making this one of the marquee races of 2026. You can bet Donald Trump and his megadonors are already plotting their path to flip Michigan red.
We can’t let that happen.
The key to winning tough races like Michigan is to start giving them attention NOW. We need to build the groundwork to fight back against all of the Republican attacks, reach voters in swing areas, and get our message out there.
