Gary Peters
Democratic



Along with Georgia, this is one of two Democratic-held Senate seats up for election in a state that Donald Trump won in the 2024 presidential election, winning 49.73% of the vote to Kamala Harris's 48.31%. Republicans have not won a Senate election in Michigan since 1994.[3]

Background

Michigan is considered to be a swing state. Most recently in the 2020 and 2024 presidential elections, the state backed Joe Biden by 2.8% and Donald Trump by 1.4%, respectively.[4] Peters was first elected with 54.6% of the vote in 2014 and re-elected with 49.9% in 2020.

Both parties have seen success in the state in recent years, although Democrats have had more success outside of presidential races. Democrats control both of Michigan's U.S. Senate seats, all statewide executive offices, and the state senate. Republicans control the Michigan House of Representatives and hold a majority in Michigan's U.S. House delegation.[5] Republicans have not won a Michigan U.S. Senate race since 1994 and have not won this seat since 1972.[6] Additionally, Republicans have not won a non-presidential statewide race in Michigan since 2014.

As one of only two seats up held by a Democrat in a state that voted for Trump in 2024, Michigan is considered a key Senate battleground in 2026.[7][8]

Democratic primary

Campaign

Stevens is reportedly receiving the private backing of the Democratic Senate leadership, including Chuck Schumer, Kirsten Gillibrand, and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC). However, they have yet to publicly take sides in the Democratic primary.[9][10][11][12][13][14] The pro-Israel lobby group AIPAC is expected to spend heavily on Stevens' campaign.[15][14] Although not openly supporting any candidate, AIPAC solicited contributions for Stevens' campaign in a September 2025 fundraising e-mail, directing donors to a site for direct contributions to the campaign, bypassing earmark requirements.[16]
