From Investing.com:

Michigan Republicans voted to remove Kristina Karamo as state party chair after slow fundraising and internal strife raised concerns for the party’s future. Karamo, a former community college instructor, promised to bring in small donors but failed to deliver, leading to a cash crunch and an effectively non-functional state party under her leadership.

A special meeting gathered critics of Karamo and resulted in nearly unanimous support for her removal from her post. Karamo has indicated that she would not respect Saturday’s vote, leading to a potential legal battle over party leadership in Michigan.

The chaos engulfing the Michigan Republican Party has hindered its traditional role in organizing and fundraising for Republican candidates. Disagreements within the party continue, with Karamo’s administration proposing a plan at the Jan. 13 meeting to shift the power of candidate selection from voters to precinct delegates in a caucus, a move that has been met with criticism.

With the removal of Kristina Karamo as the Michigan Republican Party chair, the state committee is faced with challenges to navigate the internal strife and funding issues before the November 2024 elections. Tensions and disagreements continue to plague the party, creating roadblocks for effective leadership and organization.
