California Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell announced he is running to be the Golden State’s next governor during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Thursday.
With incumbent Gavin Newsom term-limited and widely tipped to make a bid for the White House in 2028, Swalwell joins a crowded field that includes the state’s former attorney general and health secretary Xavier Becerra, ex-U.S. Rep. Katie Porter, and one-time presidential candidate Tom Steyer.
