Swalwell suspends campaign for California governor

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) announced on Sunday that he would be suspending his campaign for governor — just over 48 hours after initial reports alleging that the congressman, and one of the frontrunners for California governor, had twice sexually assaulted a former aide.

"I am suspending my campaign for Governor," Swalwell wrote in a post on the social platform X. "To my family, staff, friends, and supporters, I am deeply sorry for mistakes in judgment I've made in my past. I will fight the serious, false allegations that have been made — but that's my fight, not a campaign's."
