Democrat Peters holds onto Senate seat in Michigan
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleDemocrat Gary Peters holds onto his Senate seat in Michigan. He defeats Republican challenger John James, a Black business executive and former combat veteran.
The 61-year-old Peters continues Democrats’ dominance of Senate elections in the presidential battleground state. Republicans, who have won just one Senate seat in Michigan since the 1970s, spent heavily to try to unseat Peters in one of their few pickup opportunities.
Peters is a low-key former congressman, state lawmaker, lottery commissioner and investment adviser who served in the Navy Reserve. He ran by emphasizing his bipartisan work and by criticizing James’ support for President Trump.
