"Trump Criticizes Hoekstra as Michigan GOP Leader"

Former President Donald Trump publicly praised former Rep. Pete Hoekstra as the chairman of the Michigan Republican Party during an election rally, citing his past accomplishments in Congress and as an ambassador. The announcement follows a recent split in the state Republican party and a decision by a special committee convened by the Republican National Committee to name Hoekstra as the rightful chair. Trump had previously endorsed Hoekstra for the position, and the move has caused division within the party, with the ousted chair, Kristina Karamo, refusing to recognize the decision.
