Michigan Republicans are embroiled in a leadership dispute that could lead to conflicting presidential nominating conventions on March 2. The clash stems from the removal of former chair Kristina Karamo, with the Republican National Committee recognizing former Congressman Pete Hoekstra as the new Michigan GOP chair.
Hoekstra announced that the state Republican Party will hold a presidential nominating convention in Grand Rapids on March 2 to allocate 39 of the state's 55 presidential delegates. However, Karamo and her supporters plan to hold a separate convention in Detroit on the same day.
