Eric Swalwell has suspended his campaign for governor of California following multiple allegations of sexual assault and misconduct, triggering swift political fallout and reshaping the state’s high-stakes race.
The controversy stems from accusations by at least four women. A former staff member alleged that Swalwell sexually assaulted her while she was intoxicated, while others accused him of sending unsolicited explicit messages and images. Some of the allegations date back several years, with at least one now under investigation by the Manhattan district attorney’s office.
