U.S. Senator Stabenow calling for President Trump’s removal from office
LANSING For the Michigan Republican Party, life after President Donald Trump may look a lot like life under Trump, according to activists and experts who expect him to remain a power broker in politics for years to come.
While Michigan GOP Chair Laura Cox, a Trump loyalist, announced this week she is not seeking re-election, her presumed successor Ron Weiser has placated the Trump base by teaming with conservative activist Meshawn Maddock, who is poised to become party co-chair next month barring any last-minute changes.
Maddock is a vocal figure in the stop the steal movement alleging Trump won the election and organized buses to Washington, D.C. this week for a massive rally where some Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol in a violent siege.
