Marlinga is also 78 years old. Realistically speaking, the probability of him being elected is greater than the odds probability of him holding on to the seat for a long time.
And if elected in 2026 would turn 80 his first week in office.
Third times are seldom the charm. (Or fourth ones; he first ran for Congress in 2002 and lost to Candice Miller, after being Macomb County Prosecutor since the 1980s). It's possible that a blue wave or opinion shift in 2026 could do the trick, but even if it did he likely wouldn't hold it for too long.
MI-10: Someone new this time, please.
