Democrat Jocelyn Benson won reelection as Michigan's secretary of state, beating back a challenge from a candidate endorsed by former President Donald Trump.
Benson defeated Republican Kristina Karamo, a local Republican activist and community college instructor, 55 percent to 42 percent when the Associated Press called the race.
Benson rose to national prominence in the run-up to and aftermath of the 2020 election, where she defended the legitimacy of her state's elections after attacks from Trump and his allies, and also co-chaired the National Association of Secretaries of State's election committee during the 2020 election. She was among the most recognizable chief election officials in the country and has been a regular on cable news.
