2024 Election Results – Michigan House Flips to Republican Control

Yesterday’s election brought significant changes to the representation of Michigan citizens in both Lansing and Washington, D.C.

Federal Elected Officials:

• President: Donald Trump won Michigan and secured the Electoral College to reclaim the presidency.
• U.S. Senate: Elissa Slotkin (D) narrowly defeated Mike Rogers (R) for the seat vacated by Debbie Stabenow, leading by less than 1%.
• 7th District: Tom Barrett (R) claimed victory over Curtis Hertel, Jr. (D), marking a Republican gain in the House.
• 8th District: Kristen McDonald Rivet (D) won against Paul Jung (R), filling Congressman Dan Kildee’s retired seat.
• Republican Control: The U.S. Senate will flip to Republican control, with Senator John Thune elected as the chamber’s leader. Republicans will also maintain their majority in the United States House of Representatives, with Mike Johnson expected to continue his role as Speaker.

State Elected Officials:

• Michigan House: The Michigan House will shift to a 58-52 Republican majority from a 56-54 Democratic majority, with Republican Matt Hall from southwest Michigan to become Speaker.
• Michigan Senate: Democrats retain a slim 19-18 lead, pending a special election for Kristen McDonald Rivet’s vacated seat.
• Split Government: Governor Whitmer has two years remaining in her second term, meaning the 2025-2026 legislative term will operate under a split government.
