Upton's relatively disappointing performance in 2012 (winning with 55%, the smallest margin of his career, after outspending his opponent $4 million to $294,000), Clements' strong fundraising, and outside spending on behalf of Clements prompted speculation that Upton could suffer an upset loss. Even a close win for Upton could persuade him to retire, as happened with Republican Charles E. Chamberlain, who only narrowly defeated Democrat Milton Robert Carr in 1972, retiring in 1974 to be succeeded by Carr. [86]

After his defeat, Bentivolio announced that he was running a write-in campaign. He alleged that after Trott won the primary, the Trott campaign "kept up the attacks, but they expanded it beyond me. After they won the race, they continued to beat up me, my family members, as well as my staff... I put them on notice: If they didn't stop I'm probably going to end up doing a write-in campaign. And they didn't stop." The Trott campaign has denied this, saying that "nothing like that occurred." Bentivolio does not think he will win, or even "get enough votes to keep [Trott] from getting elected... all I'm concerned about is getting people who want a voice through a protest vote to do a protest vote." [147]

Democratic primary

Robert L. McKenzie, who had worked for the United States Department of State as senior advisor, was the Democratic Party nominee. Jocelyn Benson, the Dean of Wayne State University Law School, was considering running for the seat [148] but declined to do so in the wake of the murder of a student at Wayne State University. [149] Michigan Democratic Party Chairman Lon Johnson said the party would field a top caliber opponent against the Republican nominee. [10]

McKenzie would win the Democratic nomination. [150] [151] [152]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">2012 United States House of Representatives elections in Michigan</span>

The 2012 United States House of Representatives elections in Michigan was held on Tuesday, November 6, 2012, to elect the 14 U.S. representatives from the state of Michigan, a decrease of one following the 2010 United States census. The elections coincided with the elections of other federal and state offices, including a quadrennial presidential election and an election to the U.S. Senate. Primary elections were held on August 7, 2012. The filing deadline for candidates to file to run in the primary was May 15. Except for two seats, all the incumbents sought re-election. The open seats were the 5th and 11th congressional districts. Due to the loss of one seat from the 2010 census, two congressmen ran against each other.
