Oh Eric...

You're unfit to be the governor but fit to be a Congressman? Explain how that works, predator.

I've read that he's an inconvenient candidate because of California's "jungle primary," in which two republicans are leading in the polls. Eliminating him reduces the number of Democrats running for office, giving Mrs. Potato Head a better shot.

I don't know if he's running for a congressional seat. Somewhere, I read that he has to NOT run for congress if he runs for governor.

Hopefully it gives the San Jose mayor a better chance

The deadline to apply for a run for a Congressional seat was March 6. Swalwell didn't apply.

And, community notes to the rescue.

He announced his resignation from Congress

Swalwell is still on the ballot in California. His "suspending" his campaign doesn't change that.

He also has not, as of yet, submitted a letter of resignation, tho it might change in the coming days. He could, if he wanted, fester linger a while.

I wonder what other rotten apples will fall. Maybe some of the 150 or so congressmen who voted against full disclosure of sexual abuse settlements?

[jon-nyc]

I forgot about that. That would be nice.

[Andrea B]

The clerk read his official resignation today.

He's gone.

Now, who else was in that photo/video???

The video I saw showed at least two guys and at least one woman partying, but it all seemed consensual. Is there another video?
