The race for Michigan's open Senate seat between Democratic U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin and Republican former congressman Mike Rogers remained too early to call Wednesday after results in other states showed Democrats lost their slim majority in the upper chamber.

Representative Elissa Slotkin, a centrist with strong national security credentials, won the contest to succeed the retiring Senator Debbie Stabenow.

Detroit — Democrat Elissa Slotkin prevailed over Republican Mike Rogers in the election for Michigan's open U.S. Senate race following a contentious and hard-fought campaign.
