The Republican National Committee (RNC) is weighing in on the leadership controversy in Michigan.
The RNC recognized former Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-Mich.) to head the Michigan GOP after Kristina Karamo was ousted last month.
However, Karamo maintains she is still in control.
“The Michigan Republican Party will continue to move forward under the leadership of the Karamo administration, and Kristina Karamo will continue serving as the duly elected Chairwoman,” the state party told The Hill in a statement.
In a video posted Wednesday to X, Karamo claimed she’s “still legally the chair.”
Michigan Republicans voted in January to boot Karamo from her role, but her refusal to concede the position has sparked a power struggle in the party
“Both the RNC and our Party’s presumptive nominee Donald Trump, have now come forward and recognized me as the duly elected Chair of the Michigan Republican Party,” Hoekstra said in a post on X.
“It is time for the former Chair to join the fight to re-elect Donald Trump. She would be welcomed,” Hoekstra, who also previously served as U.S. ambassador to the Netherlands, said of Karamo.
