Mallory McMorrow jumps into Michigan’s Senate race with a call for change in the Democratic Party
Michigan state Sen. Mallory McMorrow is jumping into the race to replace retiring Democratic Sen.
Michigan state Sen. Mallory McMorrow is jumping into the race to replace retiring Democratic Sen. Gary Peters, planting her flag in what’s expected to become one of the highest-profile Senate races of the 2026 midterms.
McMorrow, a Democrat, made the announcement Wednesday morning in a direct-to-camera video that evokes the breakneck pace of news out of the Trump administration, telling supporters that “there are moments that will break you. This is not that moment.”
“They want to make you feel powerless, but you are not powerless,” she says in the video, evoking her 2018 state Senate victory over a Republican incumbent, her viral speech forcefully pushing back against a Republican colleague’s attacks, and recent Democratic electoral and legislative successes in the state.
Her announcement video also features a heavy dose of not just President Donald Trump but also billionaire CEO Elon Musk.
“There’s a lot of fear and anger and uncertainty right now about people in power who, frankly, have no business being there. So you know what won’t fix it? The same old crap out of Washington,” she adds.
