Michigan Republicans are convening in Detroit to elect a new party chair ahead of the 2026 midterms, a crucial election cycle for the battleground state. The upcoming races include a pivotal U.S. Senate seat that will play a significant role in shaping the political landscape.
Three candidates are vying for the party chair position. Meshawn Maddock, a prominent figure in the MAGA movement and a close ally of former President Donald Trump, is facing forgery and conspiracy charges related to the 2020 election. Despite the legal challenges, Maddock remains a frontrunner, with Trump endorsing her candidacy.
