The state party has voted to oust Kristina Karamo, but she is refusing to accept the result. So who’s in charge?

Michigan’s Republican party has devolved into feuding factions – and at this point, it’s not even clear who, if anyone, is in charge.

Kristina Karamo, the Michigan GOP’s election-denying chair, was ousted in a 6 January vote held during a special meeting called by state committee members critical of Karamo. But she and the faction that support her have refused to step down, further inflaming the chaos that has engulfed the swing-state Republican party with the 2024 presidential election just months away. On Saturday, the party will meet to vote on a new state party leader.

Even if Karamo’s opponents succeed in choosing a new chair this weekend, their vote is unlikely to settle the matter – dragging the beleaguered party deeper into internal conflict that promises to escalate as the 2024 elections approach.

      Republican Party politics has become children screaming “NUH UH!”

      Get it right and quit trying to “both sides” this.

        Last I checked, the Democrats were part of American Politics. They’re part of the system and have to deal with childish behaviour in their workplace. You made the connection that they’re childish because you drew a conclusion before actually thinking about a statement.

        Get it right and think about what you read before you decide your opinion.
