Race summary
Michigan's 10th District, which takes in most of Macomb County and a sliver of Oakland County, was left open by GOP Rep. John James in his third quest for statewide office. While James' fundraising prowess made him a difficult opponent, he underperformed Trump slightly in 2024, and some Republicans saw him as an awkward fit for this district given that he had parachuted into it from higher-income Farmington Hills in Oakland to run.Key Dates
