Rep. Eric Swalwell is dropping out of the Democratic presidential race. "Today ends our presidential campaign, but it is the beginning of an opportunity in Congress" to "bring that promise of America to all Americans," Swalwell said in a statement.
Swalwell's long shot presidential bid was never able to gain traction, and Swalwell was not able to break out from the pack during the first debates. He will return to high-profile posts on the House Intelligence and Judiciary committees during a period when both are moving to confront Trump on Trump's efforts to obstruct justice in the Russian hacking investigation and other alleged crimes.
