Congressman, and leading candidate for California Governor, Eric Swalwell, facing calls to end his campaign, and even resign, tonight, following allegations he sexually assaulted a former staffer. Those allegations have caused high-profile Democrats like Adam Schiff, Nancy Pelosi, and others to rescind their endorsements, leaving the race for Governor in turmoil with just weeks until ballots go out.
Swalwell denies wrongdoing, but his chances at the Governor's mansion are already falling, with prediction markets foreseeing his victory plummeting in the hours after the reporting dropped. With more, Courtney Friel and Micah Ohlman are joined by "Inside California Politics" host Nikki Laurenzo. April 10, 2026.
