A closely watched Senate race in Michigan has taken on new significance as Democrats seek to secure a majority, with trade tensions between the U.S. and Canada emerging as a key campaign issue. The dispute over tariffs and economic policies has drawn sharp contrasts between the candidates, potentially swaying voters in a state where manufacturing and cross-border trade play major roles. With both parties eyeing the seat as pivotal, the election could hinge on how deeply the trade conflict resonates with workers and businesses. The outcome may not only shape the Senate’s balance of power but also set the tone for future U.S. economic relations with its northern neighbor.
