California Congressman Eric Swalwell announced Sunday that he’s ending his bid for governor while confronting sexual assault accusations.
The Democratic representative took to social media platform X to make the announcement, stating his decision to halt the gubernatorial race.
“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,” Swalwell posted.
The congressman indicated he plans to challenge the allegations while keeping that battle separate from his political ambitions.
