Michigan Republicans Call for Meeting to Discuss Unseating Karamo

A group of Michigan Republicans has submitted a request for a special meeting to consider removing Chairwoman Kristina Karamo and other members of her leadership team from the GOP's state committee. If successful, a vote could take place on December 27th, potentially ending Karamo's tenure 10 months before the 2024 presidential election. Karamo has faced criticism for fundraising shortfalls, internal divisions, and failing to fulfill campaign promises. Opponents would need 75% of the state committee's support or a change in bylaws to unseat her. The Michigan Republican Party has faced financial challenges, with about $35,000 in its bank accounts in August and the possibility of "imminent default" on its line of credit.
