Michigan Democratic U.S. Rep. Shri Thanedar won reelection in a rematch with Republican challenger Martell Bivings, the Associated Press reported.

Flashback: Thanedar won two years ago with 71% of the vote to Bivings' 24%, snapping Detroit's 70-year streak of Black representation in Congress.

Former Rep. Brenda Lawrence retired in 2022 instead of running in the redrawn 13th Congressional District.

Zoom in: The 13th Congressional District includes parts of Detroit and Dearborn Heights, Hamtramck, Highland Park, the Grosse Pointes, Melvindale, Lincoln Park, Romulus, Southgate, Taylor, Wayne, River Rouge, and Wyandotte.
