Michigan Democrats are set to control both legislative chambers for the first time in 38 years.

[Penelope]

• The wins in Michigan signaled the lack of a Red Wave across the country.

What's happening: Democrats — who appear to hold a 56-54 House majority and a 20-18 Senate majority, with some races still not called by the AP — will have more power than ever to decide whether bills get to a committee hearing and ultimately what is voted on.

• State Rep. Joe Tate (D-Detroit) is poised to become the next House speaker, while state Sen. Winnie Brinks (D-Grand Rapids) is expected to be the next Senate leader — the first woman in state history who would serve in the role.
• And with Democrats leading budget negotiations, re-elected Gov. Whitmer's 2023 state budget recommendation will likely be even larger than this year's historic total.

Plus, Democrats in West Michigan's 3rd Congressional District flipped the seat after Hillary Scholten defeated Trump-backed election denier John Gibbs.

• The party also maintained its majority on the Michigan Supreme Court.

Between the lines: Democrats will also be able to lead an investigation into the allegations against former speaker Lee Chatfield.

Michigan Democrats will control Legislature for first time in decades

After flipping the Legislature, the party can now pass laws without bipartisan support.

I'm sure they will do good things for MI.

Hopefully they have a hinterland blue-dog dem or two that will not be completely retarded or that giant sucking sound coming out of MI will be businesses leaving to freer states.

Michigan is a shithole whose state spending on health care, welfare, and pensions amount to 3/4 of their entire budget.

Good job Democrats.

Whitmer is going to lower the taxes.
