Earlier we told you about claims against Eric Swalwell by a former staffer. It seems major figures supporting his campaign find them very credible and they are jumping ship.

Rep. Jimmy Gomez serves the 34th District of California in Congress and has been a long Swalwell ally. He was also the Campaign Chair. Oof!

It's not going to get any better for Swalwell, it seems.

This is hitting too close to home.

This is a very big deal. Gomez was an early @ericswalwell ally who has been squiring him around Sacramento https://t.co/7OPKosRPfX

Oh, Eric. How the mighty fall.
There were crickets when he slept with a Chinese spy. Now it’s all political expediency and Swalwell goes under the bus. Cali Dems are scumbags. 😂

Just complete garbage people.
Thank you, but PLEASE also ask him to resign from Congress. Or at least insist on an ethics investigation that could lead to him being kicked out, as with George Santos.

He preyed on staffers. As long as he's in Congress, Eric Swalwell can continue to prey on staffers. #CA14
Calling for him to leave the Governors race is minimum
— Doug McGie (@bcbldr) April 10, 2026
A real leader would call for him to drop from his Congressional seat
Eric has got to go!
