Eric Swalwell's Endorsements Pull a Houdini, Disappear Overnight
KEY POINTS
- •Rep. Eric Swalwell lost his last Democratic endorsement when Rep. Adelita Grijalva withdrew support on Saturday amid sexual assault allegations.
- •His ActBlue fundraising page and endorsement listings were pulled, ad buys canceled, and staff reportedly leaving as the Manhattan DA investigates.
- •Party leaders including Hakeem Jeffries and Rusty Hicks publicly urged Swalwell to end his California gubernatorial campaign immediately.
In a political vanishing act worthy of a Netflix true crime special, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), once boasting 21 Democratic endorsements, now can’t even keep Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.) on his fan list as she yanks her support on Saturday. His fundraising page on ActBlue ghosted harder than a bad Tinder date, and his slick endorsement tab vanished from his own website, leaving ad buys in mid-pullback chaos. Staff fleeing like it’s the office fire drill, Swalwell’s even attracting an investigation by the Manhattan DA while GOP Rep. Anna Paulina Luna pushes to expel him mid-drama. Calling allegations of rape and assault 'flat false' in an X video sounds heroic until you remember his entire campaign just tanked in 24 hours, prompting party leaders like Hakeem Jeffries and Rusty Hicks to shout 'Drop out already!' like referees blowing whistles at a very messy game.
