"Former Ambassador Pete Hoekstra Elected Michigan GOP Chair Amid Party Turmoil"

Former GOP congressman Pete Hoekstra was elected as the new chair of the Michigan Republican Party by the anti-Karamo faction, intensifying a power struggle within the party. This comes after the removal of Kristina Karamo as party chair, which is now being contested in court. The anti-Karamo faction filed a lawsuit to force Karamo out of office, while Karamo and her supporters sent "cease and desist" letters to dissenters. Hoekstra, who served as U.S. ambassador to the Netherlands under former President Donald Trump, was elected over Lena Epstein and Vance Patrick. The dispute highlights divisions within the party, with both sides claiming legitimacy and support from prominent figures.
