"Swalwell said he would 'fight the serious, false allegation made against me. However, I must take responsibility and ownership for the mistakes I did make.'"
"An independent campaign committee supporting San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan has pulled in $12 million in new and previously committed contributions from wealthy donors since Friday."
"'I've never seen something so in flux while ballots are about to drop,' said political strategist Marva Diaz, highlighting the chaotic nature of the race."
Rep. Eric Swalwell resigned from Congress following allegations of sexual assault and misconduct, shortly after suspending his campaign for California governor. His exit adds confusion to an already competitive Democratic race, where candidates like Tom Steyer and Katie Porter may benefit. San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan's campaign has gained significant financial support, indicating potential shifts in voter support. Despite fewer candidates, Swalwell's departure has created uncertainty, with his name still appearing on the primary ballot due to timing issues.
