Slotkin won by a thin margin, securing 48.6% of the vote compared to Rogers’s 48.3%, according to the Associated Press.
Her victory, called Wednesday afternoon, continues a streak of Democratic dominance in statewide races. No Republican has won a Michigan Senate seat since 1994.
In this case, a win for Slotkin is a win for republicans and the nation.
It also denies Republicans additional breathing room in a chamber they will control next year. Slotkin will replace retiring Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), a titan of Michigan politics who rose to Senate Democrats’ No. 3 leadership post.
Michigan had one of the only competitive Senate races without an incumbent this cycle, making it a top target for Senate Republicans. In the final days of the campaign alone, the leading super PACs for each party spent almost $20 million on advertising in the state.
