Eric Swalwell Resigns Amid Scandal

Eric Swalwell's political career has collapsed following multiple allegations of sexual assault, including a claim of rape from a woman who says the incident occurred at a hotel paid for by his campaign.

The resignation has sent shockwaves through the Democratic Party, with allies expressing disbelief at the 'double life' the congressman allegedly led.

Beyond his political exit, Swalwell faces the threat of disbarment and ongoing investigations by law enforcement in multiple jurisdictions.

The scandal has created a significant opening in the California governor's race, where Swalwell was previously considered a front-runner.
