Bishop had conceded defeat late Tuesday.  

Slotkin unseated Bishop in a district long held by Republicans but faced a stiff challenge this year. The district also includes some more Democratic areas like Michigan State University.

Slotkin is a former CIA and Defense Department official and said she decided to challenge Bishop because of his vote to repeal ObamaCare last year.
