CA-GOV: Swalwell Suspends His Campaign for California Governor

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) is “suspending” his campaign for governor, he announced Sunday night.

Washington Post: “Swalwell’s abrupt exit from the California governor’s race marks a remarkable downfall for the longtime congressman, who was considered a leading candidate. The fallout from reports of sexual assault and misconduct continued Sunday, as pressure mounted for Swalwell to also vacate his congressional seat.”
