Several Democratic politicians have pulled their endorsements of Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) and urged him to end his campaign for California governor amid sexual assault allegations.

House Democratic leaders—House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), Democratic Whip Katherine Clark (D-Mass.), and Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar (D-Calif.)—issued a joint statement on April 10 calling for an investigation into the allegations.
