Infighting over former President Donald Trump is driving a wedge between Michigan Republicans, causing them to lose out on key donors that could make or break their success in the 2024 election.
The Michigan GOP is divided between those who support Trump's 2020 election fraud claims and those who are looking to move the party forward and gain much-needed wins in the state and federal legislatures in 2024, particularly after a worse-than-expected performance in 2022. However, to do that, donations will be needed — something the party is severely lacking.“It’s not going real well, and all you have to do is look at the facts,” Rep. Lisa McClain told the New York Times.
Her refusal to concede her 2022 election loss and her hard-line conservative agenda have forced the party to take severe cuts to donations. In fact, the party has lost money since Karamo took over, with less than $150,000 in the bank as of June 30, according to Federal Election Commission records. Four years ago at this time, the party had almost three times as much cash on hand, according to the New York Times.
This is a sign that Michigan Republicans are looking to move away from the state party leaders, whose defeats in past years are placing the GOP in an uphill battle for any chance at victory in 2024. In 2022, Karamo and DePerno lost, Republicans lost control over the state legislature, and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer was reelected in a landslide. Michigan Republicans blamed multiple people for the party's midterm defeat.
