(Washington, DC) – Eric Swalwell has suspended his campaign for governor.
The Democrat did not detail the accusations but made clear he intends to address them personally, rather than allow them to define his campaign. His exit reshapes an already competitive California race, removing a high-profile national figure from the field.
Swalwell’s office has not released additional details, and it remains unclear how the allegations may impact his future in Congress.
