NEW: Leading Democrat Drops Out Of Race For CA Gov Amid Rape Investigation

California Congressman Eric Swalwell has officially ended his bid for Governor, announcing on X late Sunday that it’s his fight to face false allegations, not his campaign’s. Swalwell is facing a criminal investigation in Manhattan for an alleged rape of a former staffer in 2024 and a possible expulsion vote in Congress this week.

DHS has also opened an investigation into the Congressman over the legal status of his Brazilian nanny. See for privacy information.
