In Memoriam: Eric Swalwell's Campaign (Apr. 8, 2019 - July 8, 2019)

Gone too soon

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D., Calif.) became the first 2020 Democratic presidential candidate to drop out of the race Monday, ending his bid exactly three months after he launched it on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.

Swalwell barely registered in the polls—he called it a "breakthrough" when he hit 1 percent—but America did get to know a lot about him. The Washington Free Beacon compiled a list of some of the best memories from Swalwell's short campaign.
