NOW: Unofficial votes show Muhammad winning reelection for Benton Harbor Mayor

BENTON HARBOR, Mich. - Unofficial votes coming out of Benton Harbor point to Mayor Marcus Muhammad serving another term as mayor of the city.

Mayor Muhammad was not in town for Tuesday's election, but instead on a plane back from Washington, D.C., where he was recognized by President Joe Biden for his work during Benton Harbor's water crisis.

Gwen Johnson said things are not over yet, and that she would like to see a recount.
