Michigan Democrats face internal strife and lost control of the state House as they wrap up their term.

Michigan Democrats ended their final days in legislative control marred by internal divisions, stalling votes on key bills such as expanding public records and banning ghost guns. The unrest follows significant setbacks in the November election, where they lost control of the state House. Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan announced he would run for governor in 2026 as an independent, citing the "partisan, toxic atmosphere." Republicans will regain control of the Michigan House in January, ending nearly two years of full Democratic power.
