Yess!!!! Big win for Michigan Democrats tonight. They retain control of the Senate as Chedrick Greene takes SD35's special election by nearly 20 points. Kamala Harris won this district by just 0.8% in 2024. The prior incumbent, Congresswoman Kristen McDonald Rivet (D) took the seat by ~7% in 2022.

RESULT: Democrats tonight have defended a swing district in Michigan's state Senate.
This means they also defended their majority in the chamber. (The GOP could have erased it by winning.)
SD35 voted by Harris by just 1% in 2024, but Dem Chedrick Greene appears to have won easily today.

Wendy Higdon (Libertarian)- 2.3%
It's an over 40 point overperformance from 2024 for the Democrats!

Yeah, Chedrick Greene is easily outrunning Governor Whitmer in precincts reported so far (and she won this district by 13 points), the Dems are going to retain Michigan's #SD35 easily.

Wait does that mean it's over?
Like, we causally just won a state house seat that Trump won by like 30 points?
That's TX-SD9 and MI-SD35 levels of earthquake

A big and consequential win last night! Chedrick Greene's victory means Democrats maintain their majority in the Michigan Senate.
I know that as the next state senator for SD35, Chedrick will continue his proven track record as a fighter for working families.
Congratulations!

AP just called it -- victory for Chedrick Greene in Michigan SD35, preserving Democrats' majority in the chamber (and a GOP spanking in a district Kamala Harris won 50-49 in 2024)

Tomorrow there are two major elections, and I seem to be the only one talking about them.
In MN, if Doron Clark doesn’t win in state SD60, Republicans will have the majority in the Senate
And in IA, if Mike Zimmer wins state SD35, we flip the seat. It’s not as unlikely as you think.

Over in Michigan, Governor Gretchen Whitmer finally scheduled the special election for #SD35 last week. The seat had sat vacant since January when State Senator Kristen McDonald Rivet resigned it to become MI-08 Congresswoman.
Despite the district backing Harris by 1, the Dems should hold it.
