KALAMAZOO, Michigan, Feb 16 (Reuters) - Warring factions within the Michigan Republican Party are planning to hold separate meetings next month to choose the party's presidential nominee, the latest sign of the turmoil gripping the party in the key battleground state.
Pete Hoekstra, who this week was formally recognized by the Republican National Committee (RNC) as state party chair, said on Friday he would preside over a nominating convention on March 2, separate from one planned on the same date by Kristina Karamo, who also claims to be chair.
Hoekstra, who was endorsed by Trump last month, told Reuters he would oversee caucus meetings for all 13 congressional districts "under one roof as required by the RNC." He did not say where it would be held.
"The results of that convention will be recognized by the RNC because we are the legitimate Republican Party. Whatever happens at another meeting is just noise," he said.
Karamo, meanwhile, is planning to hold a nominating convention in Detroit on March 2, where she has told delegates to also be ready to vote to resolve the leadership dispute, according to Bridge Michigan, a news site that first reported on the dueling conventions.
Acceptable registrations in the queue through May 6 at 7:00p ET have now been activated. Enjoy! -M.W.

It's very cute that Karamo is holding a make-believe state party convention.
She needs to crawl back into whatever hole she came from.

Morgan Wallen is a piece of garbage.

Clearly the party is a fractured mess and in a very weak position for November.
Re: Michigan's Two Republican Conventions
