DETROIT — Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer will find it harder to maneuver in 2025 after Republicans took control of the state House.
The GOP win forces the Democrat to negotiate or be relegated to lame-duck status her last two years in Lansing.
Republicans entered Tuesday’s election with a 56-54 disadvantage. After controlling the lower chamber for the better part of four decades, they lost the House in 2022. Two years later, they’ve retaken it, winning three of the four races they targeted.
“Our hard-fought victory reaffirms that the people of Michigan want leaders who put them first, uphold the rule of law, and advocate for accountability at every level of government,” House Republican Leader Matt Hall told The Post.
Hall is expected to be Michigan’s next House speaker.
