Michigan Judge Confirms Removal of GOP Chair Kristina Karamo, Endorses Pete Hoekstra

The ruling resolves a leadership dispute within the Michigan GOP, potentially averting a crisis ahead of the state's convention.

A Michigan judge has affirmed the removal of Kristina Karamo as chair of the Michigan GOP, ruling her actions since January 6 as void.
Pete Hoekstra, endorsed by former President Donald Trump, has been recognized as the new chair of the Michigan Republican Party.
The ruling comes ahead of a state GOP convention, potentially resolving a leadership dispute that could have led to dueling conventions.
Karamo's ouster follows internal strife and financial issues within the Michigan GOP, with critics citing poor fundraising and debt.
Despite the ruling, Karamo criticized the decision as 'egregious' and has not confirmed if she will proceed with a planned rival convention.
