Notes

Open seat following Gary Peters (D) declining to seek re-election. Abdul El-Sayed (D) faces Mike Rogers (R). The least secure Democratic-held seat on the map; a loss here raises the number of flips needed for a majority from four to five. Trump +1.4 in 2024.

Resolution

The Democratic nominee is certified winner of the 2026 Michigan U.S. Senate general election.
