Swalwell suspends California gubernatorial bid amid sexual assault allegations

Rep. Eric Swalwell suspended his campaign for California governor Sunday night, bowing to mounting pressure from Democratic leaders after a wave of sexual assault and misconduct allegations from multiple women threatened to end his political career.

"I am suspending my campaign for Governor," Mr. Swalwell said on X. "To my family, staff, friends, and supporters, I am deeply sorry for mistakes in judgment I've made in my past."
