Chairperson Kristina Karamo may face removal vote amid party infighting and financial struggles.

Overview

  • Michigan GOP Chairperson Kristina Karamo is facing a potential vote for her removal amid internal party disputes and financial woes.
  • Eight of the state party's 13 congressional district chairs, including state GOP co-chair Melinda Pego, have signed a letter urging Karamo's removal.
  • The Michigan GOP is reported to be in about $500,000 debt, with critics arguing Karamo has done little to improve the financial situation.
