Allies yank support for Swalwell’s California governor run after sexual assault allegations

Rep. Eric Swalwell's California gubernatorial campaign faced a major setback as key allies withdrew support following sexual assault allegations. Prominent Democrats like Sen. Adam Schiff and labor unions distanced themselves, while Swalwell denied the claims and vowed to fight the allegations. The accusations, involving a woman who alleged assaults in 2019 and 2024, emerged during a critical phase of the race to replace Gov. Gavin Newsom.
