Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) announced on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” that he will run for California governor in 2026, pledging to be a “fighter and protector” for the state.

Swalwell’s announcement on Nov. 20 further swells the already packed Democratic field vying to replace Gov. Gavin Newsom when his term ends—and is poised to open a rare vacant House seat in the Bay Area.
