Swalwell's California Governor Bid Shaken by Sexual Misconduct Allegations and NY Investigation

Democrat Eric Swalwell’s bid to become California’s governor is shaken by allegations of sexual assault and misconduct from a former staffer and several other women, plus a Manhattan DA probe into a 2024 hotel encounter. The controversy has prompted endorsements to be pulled, fundraising and campaign activity to be paused or halted, and calls from prominent Democrats for him to withdraw, while Swalwell denies the most serious charges and apologizes for past behavior. With the June 2 primary approaching, party leaders and donors are reassessing support as his campaign faces internal resignations and heightened scrutiny.

House moves toward expulsions as Swalwell and Gonzales face misconduct probes

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna plans a House vote to expel Rep. Eric Swalwell over sexual misconduct allegations, while Democrats plan to move to expel Rep. Tony Gonzales, who is under House Ethics scrutiny for similar claims. Swalwell denies the allegations; Gonzales acknowledged an affair with a staffer who later died by suicide. Expulsion requires a two-thirds vote, a high bar that has made such actions rare, but could trigger a ripple effect toward other members if successful.
