Michigan's Senate race vacancy due to Stabenow's retirement may determine Senate control.

Michigan's unexpected Senate race could determine control of the chamber as the retirement of Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow creates a vacancy. Democratic Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin, a fundraising powerhouse, is expected to run for the seat, while the Republicans have yet to find their frontrunner amid internal party disputes. The outcome of this race will play a crucial role in shaping the balance of power in the Senate.
