Rep. Eric Swalwell announced Thursday that he will run for California governor, the latest Democrat to join the crowded race to succeed outgoing Gov. Gavin Newsom.
Swalwell, who has served in Congress since 2013, will face a list of high-profile Democrats that includes former Rep. Katie Porter, former Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, and activist billionaire Tom Steyer, who entered the race to lead the deep-blue state on Wednesday.
Swalwell announced his gubernatorial run on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" On his new campaign website, the California Democrat focused on the need to tackle high costs and affordability as the reason he's running for statewide office.
"I’m running for Governor because prices are too high and people are scared. California’s next governor has two jobs. One, keep the worst president in history out of our homes, out of our streets, and out of our lives," he said.
He continued, "A lot of candidates talk about taking on Trump. I’m taking him on in real time. My January 6 lawsuit is one of the only lawsuits against the President that survived his new presidency. Speaker Pelosi selected me to help lead his impeachment, and today, I’m leading the Democrats’ effort in the House to investigate January 6."
Swalwell, 45, gained prominence during President Donald Trump’s first term in office when he was heavily involved in both in both impeachment proceedings. That included a stint as a House manager for Trump’s second impeachment trial.
He also ran for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, but never polled above the low single digits and ended his bid after just a few months.
Swalwell has remained a fervent critic of Trump, which has made him a target of the president and his allies.

As far as I can tell, the people of CA are indoctrinated beyond measure, and unable to think for themselves. Which means Fang Fang’s boyfriend will likely win.
Eric The Red is hoping running for governor will keep him out of jail.
I think Xavier Becerra would have a leg up on Swalwell. He served for 25 year in congress from the LA area, served as CA AG , and most recently head of HHS under Biden. He also has the right surname.
If elwcted, has he committed to actually living in and havibg a real residence home in California this time?
California Governor = Oxymoron
Then state is infested with so many swamp members nothing good gets passed.
He Lives in the dc area!
Is this what our country has come down to? A single-digit IQ traitor who is married and publicly announces tha he only “F&*%s ‘10’s’”??? Is this the best the US can do? And that ANYONE would actually vote for this termite? I’ve lost all hope. Sigh.
California was pretty much lost before.
Bkmk
“California was pretty much lost before.”
Yeah, but L.A.’s Chinatown will be thriving...
China may be bankrolling this clown.
“You would do well to not try to make your own narrow views reality”
Views regarding the performance of those two, who are in key swamp draining positions, are very far from being narrow.
In fact, it is quite widespread. But we are waiting...and waiting.... maybe things will change soon....🙄
Is this the best the US can do?
Is this what our country has come down to?
This jerk should be in Leavenworth, doing 30-life for treason, consorting with the enemy.
Ah...good point. I didn’t know the other candidates. He will likely win the Dem nomination handily.
“I’m running for Governor because prices are too high”
Because of democratic party ideas and governing. And it wont be any different under your leadership.
Give democrats the reins of power over a city or state and they make it much too expensive to live and survive for everyone except the rich and wealthy. The most expensive cities to livevin are controlled by democrats. NY, DC, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Boston, Denver, etc.
He is the Bean King! He will fart his way into the Goobernors mansion.
Yeah. Trust Sessions trust the plan. Idiot.
Well, he qualifues:
- hates US
- hates Trump
- Loves Chineses spies
- Gross fart boy
- Lies like no tomorrow
- endless list.......
