Michigan Republicans plan to discuss removing state party Chairwoman Kristina Karamo. She has made it clear she will not recognize the vote if removed.

Michigan Republicans plan to discuss the removal of state GOP Chairwoman Kristina Karamo during a meeting Saturday after many of the party’s leaders have called for her resignation following a year of leadership plagued by debt and infighting.

Karamo has made it clear she will not recognize the vote if removed Saturday, claiming the meeting is not official and has been illegally organized. The unfolding situation could set the stage for a court fight to determine control of the highest position within the Michigan GOP.

The internal dispute takes place as Michigan Republicans look to rebound from 2022 midterms in which they suffered historic losses. The party is aiming this year to flip an open U.S. Senate seat while also helping the Republican presidential nominee win the battleground state.

    illegally organized

    I may be mistaken, but the GOP is not part of the government. It’s a nonprofit organization. So at BEST the vote is against some internal company policy or something.
