Mallory McMorrow considers Senate run in Michigan

Michigan State Senator Mallory McMorrow is likely to run for the U.S. Senate seat that will be open next year. Currently, Senator Gary Peters, a fellow Democrat, is stepping down after serving two terms. McMorrow, who has been in the state legislature since 2018, has gained attention as a strong candidate for the 2026 Senate race. The Senate seat is important for both parties, especially after President Donald Trump won Michigan in the last election. In a recent podcast, McMorrow mentioned that she has not made an official announcement yet. However, she confirmed that she is seriously considering a run for the Senate. Earlier this year, she indicated her interest in the seat to Newsweek. If she runs, McMorrow may be the first Democrat to enter the race to replace Peters. Last year, McMorrow became well-known for her passionate speech in the Michigan Senate, where she defended herself against false claims made by a Republican senator. Her speech went viral and received widespread praise. As the race develops, other candidates may emerge. Former U.S. Representative Mike Rogers is expected to announce his candidacy as a Republican. McMorrow's official announcement is anticipated soon.
