Representatives Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzales resigned from Congress on Tuesday to avoid imminent expulsion votes following separate scandals involving allegations of sexual misconduct and ethics violations.
While all outlets cover Swalwell’s resignation following allegations of sexual assault, center-left sources like The Guardian focus on the "disarray" the exit causes in the California gubernatorial race. Conversely, right-leaning outlets such as Fox News and WorldNetDaily emphasize Republican-led efforts to pass the "SWALWELL Act" and strip the former congressman of his taxpayer-funded pension.
