Arizona Republican Party Chairman Jeff DeWit resigned Wednesday after bombshell audio emerged of him apparently trying to entice Kari Lake not to pursue the GOP nomination for Senate this year.
In a statement, the 51-year-old DeWit said he opted to step down rather than fight for his position after Lake’s team threatened to release a “more damaging recording.”
The audio, which was recorded in March of last year, was published by the Daily Mail Tuesday.
“I said things I regret, but I realize when hearing Lake’s recording that I was set up,” DeWit said.
