Eric Swalwell Suspends Governor Bid

The withdrawal of Eric Swalwell has injected fresh turmoil into the race to succeed Gavin Newsom.

Allegations published by the San Francisco Chronicle and CNN detailed nonconsensual sexual encounters involving a former staffer and three other women.

While Swalwell has denied the claims, a letter from dozens of former aides called for his resignation from Congress.

The Department of Homeland Security is also reportedly investigating separate claims regarding the legality of his household staff.
