Michigan’s governor race is now set, with Jocelyn Benson and John James winning their party nominations. Early polling discussed in a Michigan roundtable says the general election is a toss-up. That suggests a tight race with no clear favorite yet. The primary results remove nomination uncertainty, but early polling still points to a close race. That keeps the market outlook mixed and highly competitive.
