(Photo by Andrew Roth/Michigan Advance) Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson will visit more than a dozen cities and counties across Michigan starting next week for town halls and conversation with residents as she traverses the gubernatorial primary campaign trail. That includes stops in Traverse City, Muskegon, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Benton Harbor, Ypsilanti, Ann Arbor, Warren, Flint, Saginaw, Marquette and Detroit. Benson, one of several 2026 Democratic gubernatorial primary candidates, also plans to visit locations in Manistee, Berrien and Wayne counties. Other Democrats vying for the nomination include Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist and Genesee County Sheriff Chris Swanson, while Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan, a longtime Democrat, is running as an independent. Republican candidates include Michigan Senate Minority Leader Aric Nesbitt (R-Porter Township), U.S. Rep. John James (R-Shelby Township), former Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox, Genesee County truck driver Anthony Hudson and Traverse City native Evan Space. In a news release, Benson's campaign said the tour will espouse her 'Thrive in Michigan' agenda, focusing on ways the secretary of state, if elected as governor, plans to make Michigan the best place to raise a kid, afford a home, attain a world-class education and where residents don't have to choose between paying their bills and paying for groceries. 'People in Michigan are looking for a real vision to combat the economic threats coming out of Washington D.C. They want leaders who will hear them, listen to and see their struggles, and then work together to solve real problems to save them time and money,' Benson said in a statement. 'That's why I'm running for governor – to make sure government shows up where you need it, and stays out of where you don't.' SUBSCRIBE: GET THE MORNING HEADLINES DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX

Metro Detroiters hold rallies in opposition after House passes Trump's "big beautiful bill"
As President Trump's "big beautiful bill" passes through Washington, D.C., millions risk losing their health insurance. In Metro Detroit, community members took to the streets to ensure everyone knew. On Thursday, the House narrowly passed the bill with a 215-214 vote. It addresses Mr. Trump's tax, defense, and energy priorities. The federal bill reportedly will cut spending on food stamps and over half a billion dollars in federal funds for Medicaid, which over 70 million Americans rely on. Many people in Metro Detroit expressed how devastating the potential health care cuts could be. "Medicaid cuts will affect me greatly. I'm fighting for disability assistance as it is," said recipient Krystle Devooght. "I'm on SNAP as well, so I'm at risk to lose food." In Warren, a few dozen rallied in opposition to the bill in front of Rep. John James' office. James was among the majority of Republicans who voted in favor of the bill. "It's not fair that my parents have to help their 41-year-old daughter," Devooght said when asked how she would survive if her medical coverage and SNAP benefits are changed. Devooght tells CBS News Detroit that her spine is listed as severely disabled. If Medicaid is canceled, she isn't sure how her healthcare will be paid for. "The congressmen and senators who are voting to take it away need to take my place. The people who pay taxes their whole lives aren't in a position to lose their health insurance," Raymond Patton said. A similar rally ensued in Detroit. Retired horseman Raymond Patton said that if his benefits are changed, he's afraid his life of longevity will be compromised. "I got arthritis in all my major joints; I'm in need of a knee transplant right now. And I don't have the insurance without Medicare or Medicaid," Patton said. The Congressional Budget Office says millions of people could lose health coverage. While here at home, Michiganders expect those impacted to be far and wide. "In Michigan, over 700,000 people will be impacted, and that's not a goal we are not about building walls, we're about building our people and community and helping save lives," one woman said. The bill will next go to the U.S. Senate. If they make changes, it will go back to the U.S. House for another vote. It could take weeks or months until Mr. Trump signs the bill.
