 {{main|Politics of Michigan}}
-Having been a [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic]]-leaning state at the presidential level since the 1990s, Michigan has evolved into a [[swing state]] after [[Donald Trump]] won the state in [[2016 United States presidential election|2016]]. Governors since the 1970s have alternated between the Democrats and [[Republican Party (United States)|Republicans]], and statewide offices including [[Michigan Attorney General|attorney general]], [[Michigan Secretary of State|secretary of state]], and [[United States Senate|senator]] have been held by members of both parties in varying proportion. Additionally, from [[1994 Michigan gubernatorial election|1994]] until [[2022 Michigan gubernatorial election|2022]], the governor-elect had always come from the party opposite the presidency. The Democratic Party has a slim majority of two seats in the Senate of the [[Michigan Legislature]], and the House is currently deadlocked at 54 seats for each party. The state's [[United States congressional delegations from Michigan|congressional delegation]] is commonly split, with one party or the other typically holding a narrow majority.
