“Democrats in Michigan in recent years have been the gold standard for winning in battleground states and imposing their agenda. After the 2022 midterms, they took full control of the state government. But in 2024, Michigan Democrats took significant losses when Donald Trump won the state for the second time since 2016. And they also lost the state House. Democrats in the state now find themselves looking for a path forward and a leader to replace Governor Gretchen Whitmer in 2026.”

“Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan, who is a longtime Democrat and was expected to be one of the leading candidates in the 2026 gubernatorial race, shocked many in the state when last week he announced he would be launching an independent campaign for governor. … With Duggan’s departure, Michigan Democrats now find themselves looking for a top candidate. … And some Democrats have been placing calls to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. … Buttigieg was in Michigan on Monday in his role as transportation secretary and had multiple public events. During one of the events, just south of Detroit, he was asked about his future.”
