Michigan Election Predictions 2026: Blue Wave or Close Call?

The 2026 Midterm election is just days away, and it's time to put our predictions on the record.

I've got Norris Howard, Devon O'Reilly and Chris Moyer around the table to talk through Michigan's midterm elections. Who we think wins, how close it'll be, and what we're watching Tuesday night.

We all think Jocelyn Benson wins the governor's race. But Abdul El-Sayed against Mike Rogers? That's where our confidence levels start to differ. Plus, downballot races and more.

We also get into what's happening on the ground in parts of metro Detroit and whether the coalitions we're used to are changing. Then we turn to Lansing and the state house.

And don't forget the rest of your ballot. We talk statewide proposals, the history museum and zoo millages, and the transit renewal in Macomb County.

These are predictions, and we could get plenty wrong. We're getting back together Wednesday to talk about what actually happened, and probably with a lot of coffee.
