Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell (CA-15) announced on April 13 his intent to resign from the House amid a House Ethics Committee investigation into sexual misconduct allegations from multiple women, driving trader consensus to 100% "Yes" on his departure by May 31. The California Democrat, who launched a 2026 gubernatorial bid last November, faces bipartisan pressure including donor demands for refunds and calls for resignation, capping a rapid political reversal despite his denials. His office indicated an effective date as early as Friday, April 18, to facilitate staff transition to the House Clerk. While reversal remains theoretically possible via withdrawn resignation letter, institutional and party dynamics make continuation highly improbable ahead of the special election for his seat.
