January 28, 2025
Democrat Senator Gary Peters announced he won’t run for the 2026 midterms from Michigan, a battleground state. His decision opens opportunities for Republicans in a state President Trump won in the presidential election. Former transport secretary Pete Buttigieg may consider running for the seat. Peters’ retirement could impact the Democrats’ efforts to regain the Senate majority.
