"I am suspending my campaign for Governor. To my family, staff, friends, and supporters, I am deeply sorry for mistakes in judgment I've made in my past. I will fight the serious, false allegations that have been made but that's my fight, not a campaign's."
"I remember the next day, I can see flashes of that evening, of him on top of me, me pushing him off, him grabbing me. It was a lot more aggressive."
Rep. Eric Swalwell announced the suspension of his campaign for California governor following serious allegations of sexual misconduct. A former staffer accused him of raping her twice, with additional accusations from other women. Swalwell expressed remorse for past mistakes and stated he would fight the allegations, emphasizing that this personal battle should not be part of his campaign. The Manhattan District Attorney's office is investigating one of the rape accusations, which reportedly occurred during a trip to New York City in 2024.
