Florida Republicans Face Turmoil as Scandals Rock Party Leadership

The Florida GOP's executive board voted to censure Chair Christian Ziegler, strip his authority, and reduce his salary to $1 amid a sexual assault allegation. Ziegler, who denies the allegations, has resisted calls to resign. The party plans to hold a meeting in January to remove him formally. The allegations have caused turmoil within the state's Republican Party, with party activists eager to move on from the situation. Leading Florida Republicans, including Governor Ron DeSantis, have called on Ziegler to resign. The investigation is ongoing, and Ziegler has not been charged with a crime.
