The leadership of the Michigan Republican Party seemed to collapse in on itself on Saturday as dueling factions differed on whether the state party president remained in office just over a month before the state’s Feb. 27 primary.
Forty members of the state party committee voted during a Jan. 6 meeting to remove Kristina Karamo from her post as chair for fueling party dysfunction. Karamo has since disputed the decision, arguing the meeting did not comply with party bylaws and was “illegitimate.” That refusal led to a Saturday meeting of a majority of party members, who voted to keep Karamo in her post, according to the Michigan Advance.
“I look forward to serving you, serving Michigan, and winning in 2024 to save our children’s future,” Karamo said in a video posted on the party’s X account on Saturday.
