As Swalwell Drops Out, 2020 Candidates Face Similar Question: Do I Have a Chance At Winning?

With Rep. Eric Swalwell announcing Monday that he will be the first 2020 Democratic presidential contender to drop out, the race for the White House is entering a new phase: the culling of the herd.
Swalwell made the announcement at his campaign headquarters in Dublin, California, and said he would instead focus on getting re-elected to the U.S. House and helping other Democrats win the election.
The three-term congressman's decision came as questions about the health of his campaign swirled after he abruptly canceled campaign events last week in the early-voting state of New Hampshire.
