Swalwell suspends gubernatorial campaign

The race for California's governorship has been upended by the withdrawal of Eric Swalwell amid serious allegations of sexual assault and misconduct.

A former staffer and three other women have come forward with accusations, leading to a rapid collapse of his campaign infrastructure and support.

While Swalwell has denied the allegations, fellow Democrats are now pushing for his expulsion from Congress.

The scandal has injected fresh turmoil into the crowded field seeking to replace Governor Gavin Newsom.
