Michigan Republicans plan dueling conventions for presidential nomination as turmoil continues

Michigan Republicans' clash over leadership of their state party could mean dueling presidential nominating conventions will take place March 2, even though the national Republican Party has said members properly removed former chair Kristina Karamo. Former Congressman Pete Hoekstra, the new Michigan GOP chair as recognized by the Republican National Committee, announced Tuesday that the state Republican party will hold a presidential nominating convention to allocate 39 of the state's 55 presidential delegates on March 2 in Grand Rapids.
