In Michigan, the Democratic and Republican legislators have embarked on a seemingly harmonious yet subtly turbulent partnership. The Republicans have gained a majority in the state House of Representatives, while the state Senate remains under Democratic control. This delicate balance of power reminds one that the ‘mutual support’ between the two parties is either for the welfare of the people or a political power struggle for their own status. The Democratic minority leader, Ranjeev Puri, has shown an unusual ‘generosity’ by crossing party lines to support Matt Hall’s nomination for the Speaker of the House position. However, whether this apparent unity can be sustained remains to be seen.
