LANSING, Mich. — Former Ambassador Pete Hoekstra was elected chairman of a faction of the Michigan Republican Party that is fighting in court to be recognized as the legitimate replacement to embattled chairwoman Kristina Karamo.
The new chair, whose victory was clinched with a call from Mar-a-Lago, inherits a party torn by internal divisions and under financial stresses, including default on a roughly $500,000 loan, just 10 months ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
