SACRAMENTO — Rep. Eric Swalwell suspended his 2026 campaign for California governor on Sunday after multiple women accused him of sexual assault in reports first published by the San Francisco Chronicle and reported by CNN on Friday. He denied the allegations and said he would focus on defending himself; the reports included an allegation from a former staffer who said she was too intoxicated to consent. Following the Friday reports, prominent backers including Sen. Adam Schiff and several labor unions withdrew endorsements over the weekend, and several House Democrats publicly urged Swalwell to quit or consider resignation. The suspension comes less than a month before mail ballots begin ahead of the June 2 primary, with party officials and lawmakers weighing next steps and potential congressional responses.
