A fractured Michigan GOP struggles to mend ties at convention
GRAND RAPIDS, MI - Despite nearly unanimous support for former President Donald Trump at the Michigan Republican Party’s presidential caucus in Grand Rapids Saturday, the factionalism that has riven the Michigan Republican Party still made itself felt.
Pete Hoekstra, the party’s newest chair, was upbeat about how things went.
“The atmosphere today here is very, very positive. I think there were some that were expecting it might be a little different,” he said. “It was a good day.”
But from off-site “alternative” conventions in Houghton Lake and Battle Creek to delegates barred from voting and fraught in-caucus debates, reminders of the party’s tumult continued to spring up amid the messages of unity.
