California's race for governor faces new uncertainty after one of the leading candidates dropped out of the race.

Democrat Eric Swalwell suspended his campaign this weekend after multiple allegations of sexual assault and misconduct were made public. Swalwell also resigned from his seat in Congress on Tuesday.

On Midday Edition, we discuss the allegations and how the race for California's next Governor has changed, as well as what the allegations reveal about politics today.

Editor's note: This interview was recorded before Rep. Eric Swalwell of California submitted more information on his resignation from Congress. We has resigned his seat effective Tuesday at 2 p.m. Eastern.
