Michigan GOP Divided: Dueling Conventions and Court Battles Spark Chaos
TL;DR
The Michigan Republican Party is facing internal division as opposing factions plan separate conventions to select GOP presidential delegates on March 2, with Pete Hoekstra endorsed by former President Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee scheduling a convention in Grand Rapids, while Kristina Karamo, who still controls the party website and bank accounts, has scheduled a competing convention in Detroit. A Kent County judge is set to consider a request for a restraining order against Karamo, as delegates selected at recent county conventions are called to a Detroit meeting on the same day.
