Arizona Democratic Party Chairman Robert Branscomb II was voted out of his position on Wednesday after engaging in a monthslong feud targeting top Democratic power players.
The dispute erupted in April, when Branscomb accused the state’s most powerful Democrats of attempting to threaten and intimidate him over whom to hire as the party’s new executive director. Gov. Katie Hobbs, Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, state Attorney General Kris Mayes, and U.S. Sens. Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego fired back, accusing Branscomb of lying and saying he had “lost our trust.”
