"Michigan Judge Affirms Ouster of Kristina Karamo in GOP Leadership Dispute"

A judge affirmed the ouster of Kristina Karamo as chair of the Michigan Republican Party, following months of internal fighting over the party's financial health. The national Republican Party also declared her removal as valid, with former U.S. Rep. Pete Hoekstra appointed as the new chair. Karamo had been refusing to accept efforts to remove her and planned to hold a convention to select presidential delegates, but a group of Republicans sued her, seeking a definitive ruling about her removal. Despite her claims of unfairness, the judge's decision stands, and the state party is urged to unite and move forward.
