Michigan Senator Gary Peters is returning to the Senate for a second term.
Peters defeated Republican challenger John James in a tight contest. He won the race by less than 90-thousand votes.
Peters says he’ll represent everyone in the state, including people who didn’t vote for him.
He says that should be the norm in Washington.
“And I hope after this election is over, and what we have seen these last few years of division and hyper-partisanship, that that’s just not healthy for this country," said Peters. "This country has to come together, particularly right now when we’re in the middle of this pandemic.”
James is not conceding the race.
In a statement, he made vague and unsubstantiated claims of cheating.
Peters calls those claims "sad and pathetic."
