show moreIn the past 24 hours, Michigan has seen significant developments in its political landscape and other notable events.
## Election Results
- **Presidential Election**: Both NBC News and ABC News have projected that Donald Trump will win Michigan, securing the state's 15 electoral votes. This outcome marks a significant shift, as Michigan has traditionally been part of the Democratic "Blue Wall".
- **State Legislature**: Michigan Republicans have broken the Democratic trifecta by gaining control of the State House. Republicans will hold 58 out of 110 House seats starting in January. Despite Democrats spending at least $37 million, which was a three-to-one spending advantage over Republicans, the GOP managed to secure this victory.
- **Congressional Seats**: Republicans now hold seven congressional seats in Michigan, while Democrats hold six. Notably, Republicans picked up a seat in the 7th Congressional District with Tom Barrett's win over Curtis Hertel, Jr. The U.S. Senate seat remains too close to call, with Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin and former Congressman Mike Rogers in a tight race.
- **Michigan Supreme Court**: Democrats maintained their majority on the Michigan Supreme Court, with Justice Kyra Bolden re-elected and Kimberly Ann Thomas newly elected, giving them a 6-2 advantage.
## Upcoming Events
### November 7, 2024
- **Percussion Concussion**: This evening, the annual Percussion Concussion event will take place, featuring the Detroit Lions Drumline and several local high school drumlines. The event includes pre-show clinics and a grand finale performance at the Potter Center.
- **Rotary Park Improvements Community Meeting**: The City of Jackson is hosting a community meeting at the Boos Recreation Center to gather feedback on improvements for Rotary Park. This meeting is part of the city's effort to engage residents in park development.
- **Native American Heritage Month**: At Western Michigan University, a presentation by Dr. Evan Larson titled "Reciprocity through the Flames" will be held in the Fetzer Center's Kirsch Auditorium. This event is part of the university's Native American Heritage Month celebrations, focusing on environmental justice and Indigenous knowledge.
### Outlook for the Next 24 Hours
As the state adjusts to the new political landscape, residents can expect continued discussions and analyses of the election results. The Michigan Chamber of Commerce is set to host a virtual event, the State of Michigan Business, to unpack the election outcomes and their implications for the state's economy in 2025.
In addition to these political developments, community events such as the Percussion Concussion and the Rotary Park improvements meeting will provide opportunities for residents to engage in local activities and contribute to community development.
Overall, Michigan is entering a period of transition and community engagement, with a focus on both political changes and cultural celebrations.
