Across the political spectrum, outlets are reporting on Representative Eric Swalwell’s resignation from Congress and withdrawal from the California gubernatorial race following multiple allegations of sexual misconduct. Mainstream and left-leaning sources like NBC News and Blue Virginia emphasize the bipartisan nature of the fallout, highlighting calls for expulsion from fellow Democrats.
