Fox News projects Democrats hold onto key seat in battleground Michigan
The race for the open Senate seat in Michigan was a highly competitive one, drawing national attention and dollars from both parties. According to the Fox News Decision Deck, three-term Democratic Rep. Elissa Slotkin emerged victorious over former Republican Rep. Mike Rogers in the battle to succeed Sen. Debbie Stabenow.
Slotkin’s victory is significant as it ensures that Democrats will hold onto a crucial Senate seat in a battleground state. The race was closely watched as it was one of the key contests that could determine which party controls the Senate in the 2024 elections.
Rogers, a one-time FBI special agent who later chaired the House Intelligence Committee, was a strong supporter of former President Trump. On the other hand, Slotkin, who has a background in national security having worked for the CIA and the Pentagon, ran a campaign focused on issues like healthcare, infrastructure, and climate change.
The race in Michigan saw both campaigns, party committees, and outside groups pouring in millions of dollars, making it one of the most expensive contests of the election cycle. Slotkin’s victory is a testament to her strong grassroots support and her ability to connect with voters on the issues that matter to them.
As the dust settles on the Michigan Senate race, all eyes are now on the other key contests across the country that will ultimately decide the balance of power in the Senate. Stay tuned to Fox News for the latest updates and analysis on the 2024 campaign trail.
