Flashpoint June 7, 2026: Mackinac oddities, the Michigan Senate race and data centers

On this week’s Flashpoint, three veteran journalists descend upon Studio A to discuss the oddities at the Mackinac Policy Conference. Why was height such an issue? Where does the Senate race stand after a big debate? Stephen Henderson, Chad Livengood and ML Elrick are here to discuss. We also take a deep dive into data centers and why some think they ARE indeed good for Michigan. That and 4 Things, including a goodbye to a former lawmaker who made a mark on my career back in the day.
