After the Associated Press predicted at 5:30 a.m. ET that former President Donald Trump would win Wisconsin, the Republican was elected the 47th president of the United States on Wednesday. The AP still has not predicted a winner for Michigan's presidential election or the U.S. Senate.

While the AP is not predicting a winner in the 109th state House of Representatives election, Republican Karl Bohnak declared victory with 99% of the vote in this key seat representing Marquette County in Lansing.

Earlier in the night, the AP said Republican Rep. Jack Bergman won reelection in Michigan's 1st Congressional District and state Rep. David Prestin, R-Cedar River, won reelection in the House's 108th Congressional District. State Rep. Greg Markkanen, R-Hancock, won re-election in the House's 110th District.

Marquette County was once again the only county among the 15 UP counties to finish blue in the presidential race, with 54% of the county's voters supporting Harris.
