Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) will hold a press conference Monday afternoon amid speculation that he may be dropping out of the Democratic primary contest.

The news conference at his Dublin, Calif., headquarters is scheduled for 4 p.m. EDT, his campaign said, though it did not provide details on what Swalwell planned to address.

The thinning of the herd has begun.

Who?

[rdl6989]

Exactly, I didn’t recognize the name when I saw the article.

I expected them to all stay in until fall at least.

If a tree falls in the forest and no one hears it, who cares?

[Zhang Fei]

Say it ain’t so, Eric. The clown bus needs you.

1 down 999 to go

It would be a total cluster mess if they still had 20+ candidates going into the Iowa caucuses. Odds are there will about 6-8 still in it then, and then after New Hampshire, there will be 2-4 serious candidates remaining.

Guess communist style gun confiscation isn’t the political winner that he thought it would be.

[Wizdum]

The first clown to leave the car.

[rktman]

Were there threats of massive wedgies if he didn’t drop out?

[bravo whiskey]

I thought chickenpoophead had already dropped out.

[Popman]

He polled his supporters about gun rights and found out 80 % of them were not in lockstep with his insane gun position...

[gasport]

Does Williamson have nice legs for the race?

[Phil DiBasquette]

Guess threatening to nuke gun owners is still not a viewpoint a majority of Americans hold

[Kahuna]

Who does this little twerp think he is? For sure he pissed sleepy Joe off.

[semaj]

I wish I could get off work early just to attend so I could fart in his general direction.

[semaj]

A dead ringer for Alfalfa, except for lighter hair color.

[ifinnegan]

“Who?”

Exactly my thought.
