DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—Barely any of Rep. Eric Swalwell’s fellow elected California Democrats have called for him to resign his Congressional seat—though some said he should drop out of the state’s gubernatorial race—after multiple women accused him of sexual assault Friday.

A former Swalwell staffer alleged he sexually assaulted her twice when she was intoxicated and could not give consent, the San Francisco Chronicle first reported Friday afternoon. Three other women, including Democratic content creator Ally Sammarco, also came forward, claiming the frontrunner to become the Golden State’s next governor committed sexual misconduct against them, CNN first reported later that day.

The now-embattled Democrat lawmaker has vehemently denied the allegations, stating in a short video posted to X late Friday that they are “flat false.”

“They did not happen, they have never happened and I will fight them with everything that I have,” he added, before suggesting the allegations surfaced weeks before California’s June 2 gubernatorial primary to derail his frontrunner status in the race.

However, many of Swalwell’s House colleagues and other Democratic California elected officials—including some who had endorsed his bid for governor—do not appear to be buying his claims of innocence.

The Daily Caller News Foundation (DCNF) has subsequently compiled a list of where California Democrats, as of Saturday afternoon, stand on the allegations against the man who seemed just days earlier poised to lead the country’s most populous state.

Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who has not endorsed a candidate in the race to succeed him, has thus far only issued a one-sentence statement on the allegations, “As we continue to learn more, these allegations from multiple sources are deeply troubling and must be taken seriously.” The DCNF reached out to Newsom’s office for further comment but did not immediately receive a response.

On the other hand, both of California’s senators, Alex Padilla and Adam Schiff, have called for Swalwell to exit the gubernatorial race while stopping short of explicitly calling him to resign his House seat, to which he is not seeking reelection.

Schiff, who had endorsed Swalwell in the primary, announced he was retracting that expression of support. Padilla wrote Friday on X that Swalwell “should step aside to ensure a full, transparent investigation free from undue influence,” but did not explain if his call to “step aside” included resignation........
