Rep. Eric Swalwell: I’m Running For President [VIDEO]

Vox reports:

Avid followers of cable news Trump-Russia coverage are probably at least acquainted with Rep. Eric Swalwell, the California Democrat on one of the House’s leading investigatory panels.

Now Swalwell, who sits on the House Intelligence Committee, is running for president. He announced his candidacy on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert with a message about the forgotten men and women.

“I talk to teachers and truckers and nurses, and they feel as if they’re just running in place,” Swalwell said, adding, without much specificity, that he would offer “bold” leadership.
