Dem Rep. Eric Swalwell Mulls 2020 White House Bid

CNN reports:



Rep. Eric Swalwell said Monday he is planning to consider a 2020 run for president after the midterms. “I’m going to do all I can, first, to win my way back to Congress … and then after the midterms, Poppy, I am going to consider it,” Swalwell, a California Democrat, told CNN’s Poppy Harlow on “Newsroom.”

Swalwell has reportedly visited Iowa — which votes first in the presidential primary season and is a magnet for would-be White House hopefuls — 10 times over the past year and a half.

Swalwell maintained that his priority is the 2018 midterms, where he is “helping candidates who are stepping up to protect our health care, protect paychecks, and protect the democracy.”
