Michigan Democratic Sen. Gary Peters will not seek re-election when his term ends in Jan. 2027.
"Serving Michigan in the Congress has been the honor of my life. I'm forever grateful for the opportunity the people of my home state have given me," the two-term senator and former congressman said in a statement on social media on Tuesday.
His decision to retire leaves open a senate seat in a key battleground state President Donald Trump won in 2024. But Democrats held a similarly open seat when Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., narrowly defeated Republican Mike Rogers in the 2024 race to succeed retiring Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow.
Peters was one of three Democratic senators up for re-election in the 2026 midterms that the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) was planning to heavily target as they aim to expand their current 53-47 majority in the Senate. The other two Democrats are Sens. Jon Ossoff of Georgia and Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire.

He knows he can’t win.
Surely you jest! It’s a given. You know they’re going to screw it up. It never ceases to amaze me how incredibly stupid the DC RINO swamp idiots are!
Yeah...Pete Buttplug already said he is “Interested” in that seat.
It is notable that Gary does not use the code-phrase, “To spend more time with my family.”
Pete is not a native of Michigan and probably has little name recognition or political juice there. There’s also that other thing. He would be a weak candidate.
Michigan.
Peters out
So-called “GOP stupidity” is really just plain betrayal. They need to be primaried.
Michael Whatley better not blow this as RNC Chariman.
The former Mayor of South Bend, INDIANA wants to run for the Senate from MICHIGAN.

He'd make a good one.
So the State of Indiana is going to absorb the State of Michigan? Somebody warn Greenland!
