The open seat in Michigan’s 10th Congressional District, following Republican John James’s decision to run for governor, has created a toss-up contest between Democrat Christina Hines, a former prosecutor and Macomb County native, and Republican Mike Bouchard Jr., an Army veteran and Trump-endorsed candidate. Recent developments include substantial Democratic outside spending and high-profile support from House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, alongside Hines’s fundraising edge exceeding $4 million. The district’s southern Macomb and Oakland County suburbs remain competitive, with limited recent polling showing a near tie. Prediction market traders have priced Hines as the clear favorite, reflecting the combined impact of the open-seat opportunity, candidate resources, and national party focus on this battleground race ahead of the November 3 election.
