Michigan House of Representatives
The Republicans are projected to take the majority in the Michigan House of Representatives. The current Speaker of the House, Joe Tate (D), has conceded the Democrat’s loss of the House of Representatives.
Significance
With the margins so tight this election, in both the legislature and the presidency, Michigan has proven to be a crucial state. As a swing state, Michigan has seen lots of attention during this election cycle.
While it is still unclear for the senate race, it seems that the Republicans have gotten the better of the Democrats as they successfully flipped the blue seventh district to red with Barrett’s victory over Curtis Hertel. This victory provides the Republicans with an advantage in maintaining their majority in the House of Representatives.
