Republicans regain control of the Michigan House; Matt Hall named House Speaker, Ranjeev Puri to serve as Minority Leader.

Michigan Republicans declared they won a majority in the Michigan House of Representatives and House Speaker Joe Tate, D-Detroit, conceded the race.

(CBS DETROIT) - Michigan state Rep. Matt Hall (R-Richland Township) has been named speaker of the House for the 2025-2026 term after the House flipped to the Republican Party in the 2024 election.

Michigan's House of Representatives is now a majority Republican after several red victories in our state. Confirmed Wednesday, Donald Trump took the Great Lakes State and its 15 electoral votes, while the Michigan House of Representatives flipped its majority to the Republican party.

As preliminary results roll in, winners have been declared in each of Michigan’s congressional races, including two open U.S. House seats that were labeled as some of the most competitive races in the nation.

As many in the country keep their eyes on which way the presidential race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump goes in battleground Michigan, there are also a number of congressional seats also up for a vote.

Victories were earned in the Nov. 5 election by local state house hopefuls William Bruck, Reggie Miller, Nancy Jenkins-Arno and Jennifer Wortz.

House Minority Leader Matt Hall will lead the Michigan House in 2025, as Republicans take the reins of the lower chamber with a 58-52 majority.
