Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) has suspended his campaign for California governor following accusations of sexual misconduct. The scandal had led to a fierce backlash from Democrats, who were trying to force him out of the race. Some Democrats are now calling for his expulsion from Congress. The allegations were made by a former staffer who claimed that Swalw was married and had pursued an affair with her when she was hired at age 21. He has denied these allegations and stated that he plans to fight them. The next-in-line candidate in the Democratic field is Tom Steyer, a Democratic megadonor and fellow 2020 presidential also-ran. Republicans are threatening to hold a vote on his expulsionism from the House, which could lead Democrats to call for similar votes against Reps. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) and Cory Mills.
