No matter what type of defiant statement he makes about staying in the race, Swalwell’s days are numbered. As always, look to Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi for direction on where this story ends.

Pelosi never endorsed Swalwell, even though some of her most trusted lieutenants — like Sen. Adam Schiff — did. On Friday, Pelosi said in a statement that “the young woman who has made serious allegations against Congressman Swalwell must be respected and heard. This extremely sensitive matter must be appropriately investigated with full transparency and accountability.”

On Friday afternoon, she said she called Swalwell and told him “it is clear that is best done outside of a gubernatorial campaign.”

Not too tough to translate the Pelosiese here: Get out.
