"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."
"I have read the San Francisco Chronicle's account and I am deeply distressed by its allegations. I am withdrawing my endorsement immediately, and believe that he should withdraw from the race."
"These allegations are flat false. And I will fight them. But I have made mistakes in judgment in my past, but those mistakes are between me and my wife."
Eric Swalwell has suspended his campaign for governor of California due to allegations of sexual assault and misconduct from four women. He claims these allegations are false but acknowledges past mistakes in judgment. Swalwell's decision comes after key endorsements were withdrawn, including those from prominent Democratic leaders like Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff. The allegations, reported by The San Francisco Chronicle and CNN, involve accusations of inappropriate behavior and incidents dating back to 2019. Swalwell intends to address the allegations outside the context of his campaign.
