Trump Wins Michigan, Secures Second Non-Consecutive Term

Michigan's 2024 election saw a voter turnout of approximately 5.5 million, consistent with the record numbers from 2020, despite some ballots still outstanding. Donald Trump secured Michigan's electoral votes by a narrow margin, contributing to his overall victory to become the first president in 132 years to win a second non-consecutive term. The Michigan U.S. Senate race remains undecided, with Democrat Elissa Slotkin leading Republican Mike Rogers by a slim margin, potentially triggering a recount. The close presidential and Senate races underscore the state's role as a pivotal battleground in national elections. Trump’s victory speech emphasized healing the nation, following wins in key swing states including Michigan and Wisconsin. Meanwhile, local elections in Michigan, such as the race for the House of Representatives' 40th District, reflect ongoing concerns over healthcare and economic challenges.
