The second of 3 in Michigan. From a nearly 4-point deficit to a nearly 3+ point win!
Election results: Ballotpedia, New York Times
Headline: CBS News, 11/4/2026
Caitlin Yelik reports:
The race was one of the most closely watched in the nation.
Barrett, who was first elected in 2024 and flipped the Lansing-area district red, was one of the first House Republicans to break with President Trump and vote on war powers resolutions to end the war with Iran without congressional approval. Still, Barrett campaigned with Mr. Trump this summer and had his endorsement. [Emphasis added; BIG mistake, as it turned out.]
Lawrence, a climate activist who co-founded the Sunrise Movement and is a former member of the Democratic Socialists of America, defeated two moderate candidates who split the vote in the Democratic primary. Lawrence said he let his DSA membership lapse before the primary to "make clear" to voters in his district that he would represent them. Lawrence centered his campaign on the cost of living and opposing data centers.
