<p>Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) announced on Sunday evening, amid multiple accusations of inappropriate sexual behavior and at least one accusation of rape, that he was suspending his campaign for the California governorship.</p>
<p>&#8220;I am suspending my campaign for Governor,&#8221; Swalwell announced in an X post. &#8220;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.&#8221;</p>

<p>Swalwell once again declared his innocence — as he had one day prior in a video announcing his plan to fight the accusations against him, which he described as &#8220;flat false.&#8221; Since Friday, Swalwell has been hit with several accusations ranging from inappropriate and sexually charged messages to at least one accusation of rape.</p>
<p>In the time elapsed since the first accusations were publicly reported, a number of elected Democrats have withdrawn their support for his gubernatorial campaign and have called for him to bow out of the race. Others have taken that a step further and have suggested that he also resign his congressional seat — and some have said that they would, should the opportunity arise, vote to expel him from Congress.</p>
<p>The California congressman&#8217;s announcement comes as several other investigations are already underway — including a DHS investigation into reports that he hired a Brazilian nanny and then lied about the fact that she was living in the United States illegally.</p>
<p>His employees followed suit, with a group of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mass-exodus-swalwells-senior-staffers-quit-as-accusations-evidence-build">senior staffers</a> from both his congressional office and his gubernatorial campaign office issuing a joint memo on Saturday and resigning en masse. They withdrew all support from Swalwell and promised to stand with their former colleagues who had come forward to accuse him — and they also  called on voters to withdraw support from Swalwell.</p>
