Senator Larry Craig resigns amid airport sex sting fallout
Idaho Senator Larry Craig announced his resignation effective September 30 after a guilty plea in a Minneapolis airport restroom incident. Governor Otter will appoint a successor for the remaining 15 months of the term, with Lt. Gov. Jim Risch favored by some Republicans. President Bush offered support, while Craig seeks legal options to clear his name amid a broader GOP ethics scandal context.
