Savit will succeed Attorney General Dana Nessel in January. Nessel, who cannot seek another term because of term limits, has joined numerous legal challenges to the Trump administration.

Savit said his campaign was fueled by young voters concerned about their future who wanted “an attorney general who would represent the people and not the powerful.”
