"More than a week ago, Eric Swalwell dropped out of the race due to sexual assault allegations. The Democrat also resigned from his seat in Congress."
"Before the allegations, he was widely considered the gubernatorial front-runner for the Democrats."
"The latest poll from Inside California Politics and Emerson College Polling now shows Xavier Becerra with a massive jump among Democrats."
