Swalwell Announces California Governor Run: Reactions Mixed, Focus on Policy and Past
Representative Eric Swalwell, a prominent Democrat known for his opposition to Donald Trump, announced his candidacy for California governor during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show. His campaign will focus on affordability and challenging Trump, emphasizing his experience as a city council member, prosecutor, and Congressman. Swalwell’s entry into the race comes amidst a crowded field, following Tom Steyer’s recent announcement and the upcoming end of Gavin Newsom’s term, with the next governor inheriting significant challenges. Swalwell’s announcement and anti-Trump stance align with the current political climate, potentially bolstering his appeal among Democratic voters.
