Gallego on Why He Defended Swalwell & Why He Regrets It

This month, Rep. Eric Swalwell faced a flood of sexual misconduct allegations, pushing him to drop out of the California governor's race. But the scandal's blast radius has also ensnared Sen. Ruben Gallego of Arizona, a potential presidential candidate in 2028 and one of Swalwell's close allies before the stories broke. Gallego had endorsed Swalwell's gubernatorial bid, chaired his 2020 presidential campaign, and invested in Swalwell's AI startup.
