Republicans in Kansas narrowly picked an activist who has promoted unfounded election conspiracies and promised a shakeup to lead the state Republican Party for the next two years, following weeks of infighting that mirrors the acrimony in the party across the U.S.
The Kansas party's retiring chair, Mike Kuckelman, and its two other Republican National Committee members supported RNC Chairwhen she won reelection last month. But Brown had called on McDaniel to resign in December, and he said Saturday that the national GOP is seeing an internal"uprising" from members still upset over COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
The vote — with Brown prevailing 90-88 — occurred against the backdrop of the GOP's unexpectedly poor showing in the 2022 midterms, when it won fewer than expected U.S. House seats and failed to recapture a U.S. Senate majority.which means that Democrats win big races by attracting votes from moderate Republicans and independent voters, while Republicans generally prevail when the party is unified.
The infighting ahead of Saturday's vote was especially intense in Johnson County, in the Kansas City area, the state's most populous county and home for both Brown and retiring State Chair Mike Kuckelman. The county's affluent suburbs once were GOP strongholds, but since 2018, they've become conspicuously more Democratic — and have been crucial to Kelly's and Davids' victories.
In Michigan, two statewide GOP candidates who denied President Joe Biden's election victory in 2020 were seeking party offices ahead of a convention next weekend. In Nebraska last year, Republicans who support Trump fired the state chair during a tumultuous convention following a Trump-backed candidate's loss in the GOP primary for governor.
Van Etten, a retired audiologist, served on the RNC from 2008 to 2020. She also is a former member of the state board that oversees Kansas' higher education system.
