The chairman of Arizona's Republican Party resigned abruptly on Wednesday, a day after the publication of a 10-minute recording of a conversation between himself and Kari Lake, a former nominee for governor, in which he appeared to offer a bribe to persuade Ms. Lake to drop her 2024 Senate campaign.
In the recording, which was published by The Daily Mail, Jeff DeWit, the chairman, tells Ms. Lake that there are very powerful people that want to keep you out of the race, and suggests he is passing on a message from them. He says he had been told to ask her: Is there any companies out there or something that could just put her on the payroll and give her to keep her out?
