Dem Star’s Gubernatorial Campaign Implodes Over Sex Assault Claim

Eric Swalwell’s run for California governor is imploding after multiple women have accused him of sexual assault, including one former staffer who says he raped her.

Top aides began jumping ship even before the allegations were published, with at least five staffers exiting the California congressman’s campaign, according to Politico.

The fallout quickly spread beyond campaign ranks, with Rep. Jimmy Gomez, a key surrogate who helped introduce Swalwell to power brokers in Sacramento, urging him to quit the race.
