'She's gone': Insiders say Michigan GOPers are rebelling against chair Kristina Karamo

Momentum is building to kick out controversial Michigan Republican Party chair Kristina Karamo, according to a report Monday.

A majority of the GOP's state committee skipped a virtual meeting she had convened and instead took part in another organized by a group of discontented party leaders, leaving Karamo unable to achieve the quorum required to conduct business, reported MLive.

“This is the first time ever she’s not in the majority,” said Warren Carpenter, an Oakland County Republican who resigned as 9th congressional district chair to protest her leadership.

State committee members have filed a petition for a special meeting Dec. 27, where they believe they'll have enough votes to remove Karamo, who they blame for a steep drop in fundraising and intra-party quarrels.

“We’re going to be able to vacate her at our next meeting,” Carpenter said. “She’s gone.”

Karamo's opponents don't have enough petition signatures to force a removal vote, but Carpenter said they may try to change party bylaws to bring down the threshold for removal from 75 percent to 60 percent which he said would get them close to ousting her.
