Eric Swalwell Drops Out of Governor’s Race
The crowded field of Democratic candidates for governor saw a major shakeup over the weekend as Congressman Eric Swalwell, one of the frontrunners, dropped out following multiple accounts of sexual assault and misconduct reported by CNN and the San Francisco Chronicle. Blake Jones, co-author of POLITICO’s California Playbook talks about the rapid collapse of Swalwell’s campaign and the ripple effects both in the governor’s race and Congress.
California GOP Convention
President Donald Trump has endorsed former Fox News commentator Steve Hilton over Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco to be the Republican candidate for governor. But at the California Republican Party’s annual convention in San Diego over the weekend, delegates were unable to reach enough votes to endorse either candidate. CalMatters Politics Reporters Nadia Lathan and Maya C. Miller join Insight with details from the convention, and how the state GOP is juggling Trump’s unpopularity with a difficult political landscape heading into the midterms.
CalMatters is a nonprofit newsroom that partners with public media stations across the state.
Gubernatorial Candidate Betty Yee
The California Primary is fast approaching. Mail-in voting begins in a couple weeks and Election Day is less than two months away. With Eric Swalwell ending his campaign over the weekend, nine candidates remain in the crowded race for Governor. We’re looking to interview all of them in the lead up to the election. We’re kicking off our series of interviews today with former State Controller Betty Yee. She was the state’s top financial officer during both Jerry Brown and Gavin Newsom’s administrations from 2015 to 2023. The Democratic candidate joined to talk about why she’s running to be the next Governor of California.
This interview was recorded on Friday, April 10th.
