Back to EpisodesExamining the Fallout From Eric Swalwell’s Sexual Misconduct Allegations
Published 3 weeks, 5 days ago
Description
Facing sexual misconduct allegations from at least five women, including one former staffer, Bay Area Democrat Eric Swalwell resigned from Congress, where he had served since 2013. Swalwell, who denies the accusations, also suspended his campaign for California governor over the weekend. We look at how his departure reshapes the governor’s race and how allegations of sexual misconduct are being treated now, nearly a decade after the #MeToo movement began.
