Kristina Karamo

The Republican National Committee has found that Kristina Karamo was ‘properly removed’ as Michigan GOP chair, but Pete Hoekstra isn’t yet recognized as party leader. A review continues.

Pete Hoekstra may or may not be the new chair of the Michigan Republican Party, depending on who you ask. He’s won elections, lost elections and sparked controversy as a congressman and ambassador under Donald Trump.

Kristina Karamo says she’s still chair of the Michigan Republican Party, but critics who sued her Friday picked a replacement Saturday: Pete Hoekstra, a former Congressman and U.S. Ambassador under Donald Trump.

As critics plan a replacement vote for Michigan GOP chair, Kristina Karamo sends cease and desist letters alleging defamation and copyright infringement.

Michigan Republicans met behind closed doors on Saturday, voting to keep Kristina Karamo as state party chair and strike back against critics who tried to oust her, according to her administration.

Kristina Karamo says she’s still the Michigan GOP chair, but opponents who held a Saturday vote to oust her are preparing to submit documentation in hopes the Republican National Committee will resolve the dispute.

Michigan Republican leaders say they’ve voted to remove Chair Kristina Karamo. She isn’t leaving, calling the meeting illegal and vowing to ‘never resign.’ The courts, or national party, may need to resolve the issue.

A proponent says bypassing voters and letting precinct delegates select ‘real actual Republicans who have a constitutional backbone’ would improve the GOP’s chances at the ballot box. Critics say plan is illegal and elitist.

Days before a possible vote over her ouster, Karamo is facing a pair of new legal setbacks, including a contempt ruling from a southern Michigan judge.
