Jocelyn Benson on her 2026 Michigan Governor Run and What Democrats Must Do in the Midterms

Michigan's Secretary of State has battled with Trump over elections and voting rights. She talks to us about the fifth anniversary of Jan. 6, her campaign, and more.

All eyes turn to the midterms, where the Dems have every chance of retaking the House, and a non-zero chance of returning to power in the Senate. But some of the biggest, most essential races will be at the state level, where the Republicans have focused time, fortune, and energy for decades.

Upgrade to paid

At stake is more than just standing up Statehouses as a xxxxxx against Trump. The Republican mid-decade gerrymanders are an attempt to make elections meaningless and instill one-party rule.

In Michigan, Democratic Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson is running for governor. She joins Susan J. Demas to talk about why statehouses matter, and why she believes she will be the next governor of Michigan.

Watch the interview and let us know in the comments which 2026 candidates you’d like to see us talk to next!
