Alarms Sounding for Michigan Republicans as “Democrats outpace GOP turnout” in State Senate Special Primary [WLNS]

Key Points to Know:

• “Democrats had the advantage in total voters, with more than 26,600 votes,” while approximately “18,200 voters turned out on the Republican side.”
• “Almost 45,000 total voters came out for the primary, an increase of around 10,000 voters compared with the last two special Senate elections in the state.”

BOTTOM LINE: Momentum is on Democrats’ side ahead of the 2026 election, as Michiganders have had enough up with the Washington Republican agenda that is raising costs on families and ripping away health care.

DCCC Spokesperson Katie Smith:
“Tom Barrett, Bill Huizenga, Mike Bouchard Jr., and Robert Lulgjuraj are running scared as we see more evidence that voters are fed up with their toxic agenda of raising costs, ripping away health care, and giving handouts to the rich.”
