The Republican National Committee has made a decision on one of the most hotly contested state GOP chair seats in America.
Former Ambassador Pete Hoekstra and Kristina Karamo
Only moments ago, it was announced that former Trump Ambassador to the Netherlands and former US House Intelligence Chair Pete Hoekstra will be officially recognized as the GOP Chair in Michigan.
Kristina Karamo, the popular conservative and activist who was elected by a wide margin by over 2,000 delegates during a state MI GOP conference in March 2023, has been replaced after it was determined by the RNC that the proper by-laws were followed to remove her on January 6, in a 40-6 vote by a group of 71 state committee members (including proxies).
In addition to the vote to remove Karamo, the MI GOP General Counsel, Daniel Hartman, was also removed, as well as MIGOP Treasurer James Michael Copas and fundraiser and unofficial mouthpiece for the former MIGOP, Robert Morris Owens.
After a month-long battle in the state of Michigan for control of the flailing MIGOP, Pete Hoekstra was endorsed for MIGOP Chair by Pete Hoekstra.
The decision was made following a conference call on Feb. 12, where lawyers representing Pete Hoekstra and Kristina Karamo plead their cases.
President Trump is currently ahead in the polls in Michigan, a state he won in 2016 when he became the first Republican presidential candidate to win the state since Reagan.
The most recent WDIV – Detroit News poll that surveyed 600 likely general election voters in Michigan showed President Trump with 47 % of the vote and Joe Biden at 39%.
Unfortunately, MIGOP Chair Kristina Karamo has been unable to raise the necessary funds to win the races that she promised while campaigning for the position. The lack of fundraising has left Michigan, which has a very good chance to win the state again for Trump and to win back majorities in the state and senate, with no money.
Kristina Karamo, who is expected to continue to fight the decision by the RNC, has already emailed the RNC, challenging the authority of the RNC to decide the matter.
