April 15 (Reuters) - The departure of California gubernatorial candidate Eric Swalwell helps Democrats narrow the field in a June primary election, which could hurt Republicans who had been leading the race to succeed Gavin Newsom.
In a field of 61 candidates, including 24 Democrats and 12 Republicans, Swalwell led or was near the top among the Democrats ahead of the June 2 primary and was among the five candidates to meet the polling threshold to qualify for the first televised debate scheduled next Wednesday.
"This horrible scandal may have the effect of solving the problems that the Democratic Party leaders couldn't solve for themselves by narrowing the field, concentrating support on just a few candidates and thus increasing the chances that one Democrat makes it through to November," said Thad Kousser, a political science professor at the University of California San Diego.
Analysts say the two Democrats best-placed to pick up Swalwell voters may be fellow front-runners Tom Steyer and Katie Porter.
Steyer is a hedge fund billionaire who has spent $100 million of his own money running for governor.
A debate previously scheduled for March 25 was canceled because it triggered an uproar over race representation as the six candidates to qualify - Hilton, Bianco, Steyer, Porter, Swalwell and San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan - were all white. Organizers have to yet to say if Swalwell will be replaced on the debate stage next week.
In a liberal state where 30% of eligible voters are Latino, California has only elected white men as governor.

“Throw out the slug rapist and we improve.” Not by much.
“Steyer is a hedge fund billionaire who has spent $100 million of his own money running for governor.”
Democrats hate the wealthy unless it’s one of theirs. They never ask how is that many of their elected officials have become millionaires when many of them had little money when they took office.
“This horrible scandal may have the effect of solving the problems that the Democratic Party leaders couldn’t solve for themselves...”
LOL! Like it just happened! AS IF those befuddled “Democratic Party leaders” aren’t behind it!
Rooters telling us all what we already knew and treating this “news” as if it’s an epiphany.
Fang Fang was told to get out, he didn’t. They asked nicely at first, he didn’t listen. They asked no so nicely the second time, he still didn’t listen. The third time, well, there was no this time.
Whatever helps the Democrats WAS PLANNED!
Huh… I hadn’t thought of that… :rolleyes:
No really, its because they care about women.
and that is why they did it, they destroyed this pervert in THREE DAYS so dont tell me they had no idea, heck they banked on it..but my question is how come they just didnt tell him to not join the Governors race to begin with, then they would have been able to keep him and get the Governors job too
Anyone who can’t see the likes of Tom Steyer’s and/or Miss Nancy’s (Pelosi) fine hand in Swalwell’s sudden “exposure” is brain dead.
I have a way for Hilton to clean up on environmental issues by which to push him over the top. If one of his people has a way for me to contact the campaign, I’d be happy to explain it.
And here I thought California didn’t like clearing out the underbrush.
Well golly gee how about that?
Ed Buck, Swalwell, the whole CA gang are a bunch of sex freaks.
Pencil neck Schiff ran with Buck. What sort of perversions does that bastard have in his closet ?
Release the Schiff Files ‼️
It was a dream to think of a non-Dem winning in California.
Unlike the GOP, the Dems always make swift, decisive actions based on well thought out plans to continue their corruption.
Like with the Iranian citizens, the Americans have waited impatiently for Californians to overthrow their totally corrupt, fraud soaked government and clean it up.
Keep waiting.
Just think how many homeless people he could have helped with that money. Said no democRAT.
“Swalwell departure helps Democrats narrow field in California race”
And That is why all of this out. This was a hit by his own party and the clueless idiot who make up the rat base don’t even see it.
Leave it to Reuters to create a positive spin for the democrats.
As always, Republicans assisted in this, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
Hmm the R’s can take blame for a lot but this one is a rat op all the way.
