NEW: Joe Biden says Eric Swalwell, who dropped out of the 2020 race this afternoon, 'ran a passionate campaign, and I commend him for bringing more attention to the urgent need for gun safety reform in America.'
"I want thank my supporters & friends, my staff, & my family for making this journey possible. I’ll never forget the people I met & lessons I learned while traveling around our great nation. Though our campaign is ending our mission to end gun violence is just beginning..." the candidate tweeted.
The 38-year-old, traveled to several cities, including Chicago and Baltimore, to meet with local leaders who were fighting to end gun violence. Often in public, from the campaign trail to the debate stage, the California representative wore an orange tie or ribbon in honor of the movement for gun safety.
Swalwell didn’t shy away from his personal life on the trail either often bringing his wife and two young children on the trail. The Congressman was frank about dealing with student loan debt, and used that to distinguish himself from the rest of the large field of candidates.
