Well, that settles that. Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell (CA-14) has now made it official: He's suspending his gubernatorial campaign.

Swalwell made the announcement in a Sunday evening post to X:

I am suspending my campaign for Governor.  

To my family, staff, friends, and supporters, I am deeply sorry for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past. 

I will fight the serious, false allegations that have been made — but that’s my fight, not a campaign’s.

So, it appears that perhaps Swalwell now understands that campaign funds aren't supposed to cover any and all expenses.

In early and mid-March, Swalwell was riding high atop the polling in the race to succeed Gavin Newsom as the Golden State's chief executive. But the Friend-of-Fang-Fang's gubernatorial campaign has been taking on water — and fast — over the past several days.

First, there came the news that the FBI was ordering a China probe arising out of his relationship with the aforementioned suspected Chinese spy. Within a week, there came rumors of Swalwell having sexually harassed staffers and interns. Followed soon after by accusations that moved beyond harassment to outright assault.

It took barely a millisecond for his fellow Dems to start abandoning the SS Swalwell. And now, it seems he's taken the hint. 

But don't worry — he's going to keep fighting those serious and false allegations!
