Michigan GOP Votes to Oust Chair Kristina Karamo Amid Controversy

Karamo refuses to recognize the vote, potentially leading to a legal dispute over party leadership.

Michigan GOP Chair Kristina Karamo was voted out of her position by a majority of members present at a meeting, according to District 2 State Committeewoman Bree Moeggenberg.
Karamo did not attend the meeting and has stated she will not recognize the vote, potentially setting the stage for a court battle.
Karamo's leadership has been criticized for slow fundraising and a lack of transparency, with some claiming the state party is on the brink of bankruptcy under her leadership.
Karamo's administration announced a plan to have candidates for elected office chosen by precinct delegates in a caucus, rather than by voters in a primary, a move criticized by some prominent Republicans.
Karamo has previously supported baseless claims about the 2020 election and has connections to the QAnon conspiracy theory.
