Sen. Gary Peters, a Democrat, declared on Tuesday that he would not seek reelection in Michigan in 2026, setting up a crucial open-seat contest in one of the country's most evenly divided swing states. In an interview with The Detroit News, Peters announced that he would not retire but would not run for reelection because he did not believe that serving in Congress was something that should be done for the rest of one's life. He told the newspaper, "I always thought there would come a time when I would step aside and pass the reins for the next generation." This is a fairly common statement, in my opinion, for everyone to make: I've done a job, and I'm proud of it, but I have other goals for my life. I can contribute to the community in various ways. Peters announced his choice via a press...
