Elissa Slotkin Wins Michigan Senate Race, Defeating Mike Rogers

Slotkin's victory marks a key Democratic hold in a state that supported Republican President-elect Trump.

Elissa Slotkin, a former CIA analyst, becomes the first CIA veteran elected to the U.S. Senate, defeating former FBI agent Mike Rogers.
Slotkin's win helps maintain Democratic control of Michigan's Senate seats, succeeding retiring Senator Debbie Stabenow.
The race was closely contested, with Slotkin pulling ahead in Democratic strongholds like Wayne County after trailing early.
Slotkin campaigned on issues like reproductive rights and gun safety, appealing to both her base and disillusioned Republicans.
Despite Slotkin's win, the GOP gained control of the Senate, bolstering President-elect Trump's administration.
