California Rep. Eric Swalwell on Monday dropped out of the race for his party’s presidential nomination, becoming the first of what is expected to be many Democrats to give up their presidential aspirations as the crowded field winnows down.
-------------
So I knew, and also read again today, that people like Eric can keep the money he raised to run for Senate or House of Representatives. (not Governor)

SO THERE IS THIS:
“Rep. Eric Swalwell is expected to abandon his uphill run for president on Monday and announce that he will instead seek a fifth term in the House. Swalwell’s plans were confirmed by a Capitol Hill source with knowledge of his intentions. As expectations grew that Swalwell would exit the race, another candidate, who’d earlier said he would not mount a presidential run, was planning to announce he’d changed his mind. … Swalwell, the Bay Area congressman, has languished for months near the bottom of the polls in the 2020 race for the Democratic presidential nomination. Swalwell, 38, of Dublin, Calif., had sought to cast himself as the candidate of a younger generation but was eclipsed by Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Ind., and former Rep. Beto O’Rourke of Texas.”

AND THIS:
Ed. note: Federal election law allows candidates to roll over monies raised for one federal office for another. If you start out running for president, those funds are available for a Senate or House run in the current year or a future cycle, but not a gubernatorial race, which would fall under the individual fundraising rules of each state.
