How close is the Michigan Senate race and who are the leading candidates?
It's too close to call. I'm Dave Anthony, Fox News. A Democratic Senate race in Michigan.
Look, I wish I could tell you that I was declaring victory right about now.
Turns out it takes a long time to count the votes in Michigan. That's Abdul El-Sayed, a progressive backed by socialists. He has a one percentage point lead over Congresswoman Haley Stevens, considered more moderate. But Fox's Madeline Rivera reports.
But there are still many remaining votes in Wayne County, the state's most populous county where Detroit is located.

Stevens is leading there by about four percentage points with roughly 18% of the votes still remaining.
If we are going to win this thing, which we are, we are going to have to get ready and show Mike Rogers what a little stick it to him looks like.
Rogers is the Republican hoping to win that Senate seat in Michigan held by a retiring Democrat. In Missouri, a progressive ex-Congresswoman, Cori Bush, lost her attempt to win a House seat back, losing to Democratic Congressman Wesley Bell by more than 20 points.

According to court records, Farinacci denied setting the wildfire. He was questioned last year about two other wildfires, but not charged with either of them. Grinnell Scott, Fox News.
One of the deadly and destructive wildfires in the Los Angeles area in 2025 was also a suspected arson. Another one, though, being blamed on a utility company, Southern California Edison. Fire officials say it was arcing from a transmission tower that sparked the deadly Eaton fire. Another Catholic archdiocese is dealing with a court case related to priest sexual abuse.
