Does California's race for governor finally have a leader? Swalwell sees attacks from left and right

Eric Swalwell, Democratic U.S. representative and gubernatorial candidate, faces a surge of negative publicity in California's crowded governor's race ahead of a June primary.
With mail-in voting beginning in early May, the top-two primary system motivates candidates to attack frontrunners after endorsements from Adam Schiff and SEIU California boosted Swalwell's momentum.
Swalwell's landlord filed legal papers affirming the couple rented the property since 2017, while records show dual residences and a Tom Steyer ad mocked missed votes.
Swalwell pushed back on residency attacks and posted that Tom Steyer spent $100 MILLION attacking him, while Steve Hilton called for disqualification.
Known nationally as a House manager in President Donald Trump's second impeachment, Swalwell voted last year with 75 Democrats on a GOP resolution, complicating his governor bid.
