Eric Swalwell is abandoning his presidential bid, becoming the first of 25 Democratic presidential hopefuls to exit the race.
Swalwell, 38, a California congressman known for his frequent cable television appearances, is due to hold an afternoon press conference to announce his decision, according to the Los Angeles Times.
He struggled to gain traction in a crowded Democratic primary field packed with senators, governors, and former vice president Joe Biden since announcing his candidacy in early April. He was eclipsed by other youthful candidates like Pete Buttigieg, 37, mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and Tulsi Gabbard, 38, a Hawaii congresswoman.

Drop out? He was never really a candidate to begin with.
Soon to be followed by Gabbard and Gillebrand.
Who?
Yet there’s another dude thinking about getting in.

He saw some extra room in the clown car and figured, why not?
...LOL
Swallow Well
Awwwww, I really hate to hear that......he had so much going for him.....tsk, tsk...../s
Damn. Go Williamson.
Thank God. Maybe the clown car will begin to thin out. Start with the biggest also-rans in the race: Eric Swalwell, Tim Ryan, Marianne Williamson, Andrew Yang, etc.
Next!
I just wonder what Swillwell is going to do with the $1.50 he got in campaign contributions?......
The military despises him and refers to him as a “domestic enemy of the republic” who they have to defend the country against. I think he heard this and that’s one reason he’s gone.
[ Maybe the clown car will begin to thin out. ]
Hope not. I prefer they keep swinging at one another with their crazy ideas. Show the public just how bad the Democrats really are.
“Democrats are Officially the Party of Derangement”
His two supporters are devastated
This alone is evidence that he may have been the smartest person on the Dem side.
Most people didn’t even know he was running.
TFTI
[The military despises him and refers to him as a domestic enemy of the republic]
Well, that’s only because Eric Swalwell IS a domestic enemy of the Republic. And the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
