Rep. Eric Swalwell, a U.S. Congressman representing California’s 14th district since 2013, has recently made several statements on social media regarding political developments and current affairs. Born in Sac City, Iowa in 1980, Swalwell currently resides in Livermore and has been an active voice in Congress following his graduation from the University of Maryland with both a BA and JD.
On May 11, 2025, Swalwell posted a succinct message stating “He’s resigning”. The post did not provide further details about the individual or context surrounding the resignation.
The following day, on May 12, Swalwell commented on former President Trump’s stance on China. He stated: “Just like I TOLD YOU. Trump caves on China. Thank you! YOU went to the town halls and town squares. WE did this.” This message was directed towards constituents who participated in civic activities that may have influenced policy decisions.
Later that same day, Swalwell expressed criticism over conditions at Newark Airport and questioned leadership within the Trump administration. He tweeted: “Why don’t you just tweet when Newark Airport IS NOT a shitshow. How is Duffy still Secretary? Why won’t Trump take responsibility?” His remarks suggest dissatisfaction with airport operations and accountability issues.
Eric Swalwell’s career in Congress began after he succeeded Pete Stark in 2013. At age 42, he continues to represent California’s interests at the national level.
