FILE PHOTO: Kristina Karamo, a candidate for the Michigan Republican Party's state party chair, speaks to delegates ahead of their vote on the key party leadership position, in Lansing, Michigan, Feb. 18, 2023.The Republican National Committee had some level of involvement in a plan to implement a change to the nomination process that critics argue benefits former President Donald Trump, Michigan’s Republican Party chair tells ABC News.
"We talked to the RNC, you know, leadership team to make sure that this was a proper well-thought-out process," she added. Republican National Committee chairman Ronna McDaniel speaks during a Get Out To Vote rally, Oct. 18, 2022, in Tampa, Fla.Critics warn that the retooled delegate selection plan may be tipping the scales toward Trump.
"I think it does have that potential," Jonathan Hanson, a lecturer at the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan, said. "It adds to the suspicion that the deck is being stacked a little bit."says the Michigan state party’s decision "defies logic" and is "rigged." Those who objected to the plan did so because the resolution was reportedly "sprung” on the state committee members just a few days before their meeting, Schostak said.
"There's good reason to believe that yes, indeed, having delegates be sent to these regional caucuses from county party organizations would be quite favorable towards Trump," he said."Kristina Karamo is the last person that any credible or serious Republican should listen to," said Lennox.
