Incumbent U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Detroit, won reelection to serve another two-year term representing Michigan's 12th Congressional District.

Based on an estimated 80% of the vote counted, Tlaib, a Democrat, received 70%, while her Republican challenger, James Hooper, received 26%. That's based on unofficial results compiled by The Associated Press, which called the race at 11:41 p.m.

Hooper describes himself on his campaign website as an abortion rights opponent and "Liberty Minded Conservative Republican" and "Unapologetically a Conservative Christian Believer." He was one of the plaintiffs in a conspiracy-laden lawsuit to overturn the 2020 election in Michigan.

Tlaib faced no opponent in Michigan's August primary election. The district she represents includes part of Detroit's west side and part of Dearborn Heights, along with all of Dearborn, Garden City, Inkster, Lathrup Village, Livonia, Redford Township, Southfield, Southfield Township and Westland.
