TL;DR Summary

Arizona GOP Chairman Jeff DeWit resigned after a leaked recording revealed him offering a job and asking U.S. Senate candidate Kari Lake to name a price to stay out of politics. DeWit denied intending to bribe Lake, stating he was offering candid advice as a friend. The recording, leaked before a Trump fundraiser for the Arizona GOP, has shaken up the party in a battleground state. Meanwhile, Lake, known for recording confrontations, has used the leaked recording to bolster her image as an outsider. DeWit's resignation comes amid a tumultuous period for state GOP chairs, with the Florida GOP chairman also leaving amid a police investigation.
