Republican Rep. Fred Upton has easily won reelection to his southwest Michigan House seat for more than 30 years by touting his “common-sense values” and bipartisan accomplishments.
But then came the hyperpolarized politics of the Donald Trump era.

What happens to this ever-shrinking group of politicians could make a big difference in which party emerges on top.
Democrats are targeting Upton, who has not yet said if he’ll seek reelection or retire. (AP)
