Swalwell seals union backing as Trump-era FBI drama shadows California governor race
Eric Swalwell lands a major labor endorsement (CTA) for his California gubernatorial bid, giving him a key boost in a divided field. The weekend also spotlighted a Washington Post report that Kash Patel is pushing to release a decade-old FBI file related to Swalwell’s ties to a suspected Chinese operative, a move Swalwell says could be used to influence the race. He leans into the Trump confrontation as a defining contrast, even as Democratic voters remain split about the primary lineup.
