Swalwell ends California gubernatorial campaign in wake of sexual assault allegations

.

Embattled Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) has ended his California gubernatorial campaign, a decision that comes days after multiple women accused him of sexual misconduct.

“I am suspending my campaign for Governor,” Swalwell announced in a short statement on X. “To my family, staff, friends, and supporters, I am deeply sorry for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past.”

He did, however, still vow to “fight the serious, false allegations that have been made — but that’s my fight, not a campaign’s.”

Swalwell’s campaign was bleeding support after the allegations dropped. Top House Democrats also urged him to drop out of the race.
