Rep. Eric Swalwell suspended his campaign for California governor on Sunday, abruptly ending a bid that had been gaining traction after a wave of sexual assault and sexual misconduct allegations triggered a fast-moving political backlash inside the Democratic Party. However, his future in the House of Representatives is still unknown, particularly after more than 50 former staffers asked for his resignation.
In a statement posted on X, Swalwell wrote, "I am suspending my campaign forGovernor," adding that he was "deeply sorry for mistakes in judgment" in his past and would fight what he called "serious, false allegations."
