The Watergate office complex in Washington, D.C., is primarily associated with the political scandal that led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon. The break-in at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) headquarters, located in the Watergate complex, occurred on June 17, 1972.
The individuals involved in the break-in were connected to the Committee to Re-elect the President (CRP), which was a fundraising organization for Nixon's re-election campaign. The political party associated with the Watergate scandal was the Republican Party, as President Nixon was a Republican. The scandal eventually led to widespread investigations, hearings, and, ultimately, Nixon's resignation in 1974 before he could face impeachment.
It's important to note that the Watergate scandal was not representative of the entire Republican Party but rather specific individuals and actions associated with the Nixon administration.
