LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan Sen. Debbie Stabenow, a member of the Democratic leadership, has announced that she will not run for a fifth term in 2024, opening up a seat in the key battleground state. The news likely comes as a shock to many Democrats in the state because Stabenow had not previously indicated that she would not seek reelection. She says in a statement that she’s been “inspired by a new generation of leaders” and has “decided to pass the torch in the U.S. Senate.” Democrats face a test to find a candidate with the broad support of Stabenow, first elected to the Senate in 2000. She has easily won reelection since then.
