Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) Yuri Gripas | Reuters Rep. Eric Swalwell on Sunday evening said he was suspending his campaign for California governor on the heels of sexual misconduct allegations against the Democratic lawmaker. "To my family, staff, friends, and supporters, I am deeply sorry for mistakes in judgment I've made in my past," Swalwell said in a post on X announcing his campaign's suspension . "I will fight the serious, false allegations that have been made — but that's my fight, not a campaign's," he added. Swalwell's announcement came after growing calls that he drop out of the race to succeed Gov. Gavin Newsom, a fellow Democrat, and a day after the Manhattan District Attorney's Office said it was investigating a claim that Swalwell sexually assaulted one of his accusers in New York City in April 2024.

Massie For Governor? GOP's Libertarian Firebrand Talks Political Future On Friday the Ron Paul Institute (RPI) has highlighted an important and fresh interview touching on the Republican Rep's political future: Governor Thomas Massie? - RPI's Adam Dick asks . "A run for governor may be in the future for Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), but only if he first wins his May 19 Republican primary contest — the next step in his race for reelection to the United States House of Representatives," the RPI report says. But, " If Massie loses next month, the seven-term representative says he expects he will call it quits on working in government , stating he would consider the loss as “a sign from God or the people or both that I should go back to the farm ." Getty Images President Trump has on more than once occasion personally called out the Libertarian firebrand for vocally opposing the White House on various key issues , and especially most recently on the Iran war. Massie has been one of the very view GOP members to join Dems in trying to force a Congressional vote to impose limits on Trump's military actions in Iran. As a reminder : Reps.

It failed by a vote of 212-219, with four Democrats bucking their party to oppose it: Reps. Greg Landsman (Ohio), Jared Golden (Maine), Henry Cuellar (Texas) and Juan Vargas (Calif.). He remains one of the few outspoken 'non-interventionist' Republican members of the House. On the Senate side, Rand Paul, also of Kentucky, is Libertarian-leaning and condemns foreign adventurism and 'wars of choice'. As for a potential future run for Governor of Kentucky, Massie hinted at it here . If U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie loses his upcoming primary against a Republican opponent backed by President Donald Trump, you'll see a whole lot less of him...
