After dropping gubernatorial bid, Swalwell still faces calls to resign or face expulsion from US House
Representative Eric Swalwell faces calls to resign or face expulsion following allegations of sexual misconduct and an investigation by the Manhattan DA.
Representative Eric Swalwell faces mounting pressure to resign from Congress or face an expulsion vote following allegations of sexual assault and misconduct. The move follows his withdrawal from the California gubernatorial race as bipartisan calls for his departure grow.
Media outlets across the political spectrum are providing uniformly negative coverage of Swalwell’s resignation and the suspension of his gubernatorial campaign. While center-left sources like The Daily Beast focus on the procedural pressure from the House Ethics Committee, right-leaning outlets such as Fox News and The American Spectator emphasize the "ignominy" of the scandal and the increasing number of accusers.
