Democrats lose trifecta in Michigan as Republicans are projected to regain control of the House

The Democrats held a rare trifecta of control over the House, Senate and Governor's Office leading up to yesterday's election.

LANSING, Mich. — The Republicans are set to regain control of Michigan's House of Representatives in the new year, the Associated Press projects.

The Democrats held a rare trifecta of control over the House, Senate and Governor's Office leading up to yesterday's election.

Democrats currently hold a 56-54 majority in the House and a 20-18 majority in the Senate.

Republicans could stand to take a 58-52 majority in the House if two outstanding races get called for the GOP candidate.

As of Wednesday at 2:56 p.m., the Associated Press has called races in favor of Republicans Rylee Linting and Karl Bohnak, unseating incumbent Democrats Rep. Jamie Churches (27th District) and Rep. Jenn Hill (109th District).

The two outstanding races show Republicans Steve Frisbie and Ron Robinson leading over incumbent Democrats Rep. Jim Haadsma (44th District) and Rep. Nate Shannon (58th District).

Democrats still hold their slim majority in the Senate, but all seats will be up for election in 2026. Democratic Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer will be term limited and the governorship will be open in 2026 election.
