Swalwell suspends governor bid

Eric Swalwell’s gubernatorial ambitions ended abruptly on Sunday as he withdrew from the race amid allegations of sexual misconduct and rape by multiple women, including a former staffer.

The scandal has triggered a bipartisan push for his expulsion from the House of Representatives, with over 50 former staffers signing a letter denouncing his behavior.

Manhattan prosecutors and the Department of Homeland Security are reportedly investigating various aspects of the claims, including allegations related to his hiring of an unauthorized nanny.

The exit of a once-leading candidate has thrown the California governor’s race into disarray just weeks before primary ballots are issued.
