Swalwell\u2019s political career is on life support after accusations published Friday by four women accusing him of sexual misconduct, including alleged rape. The Democrat is also facing an investigation by the Manhattan district attorney.<\/p>\n<p>Soon after the allegations surfaced, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) said she would force a House floor vote this coming week to remove Swalwell. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>U.S. Rep.

However, some such as House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries stopped short of telling him to resign from Congress \u2014 and were slammed for it.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module aligncenter wp-block-nypost-editor-primary-tag\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>Democrats may stomach the push to expel Swalwell, however, if other members of Congress are also expelled.<\/p>\n<p>Jeffries and others are expected to counter with a move to bring up a vote on expelling Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas), who has been embroiled in a sexual scandal as well.<\/p>\n<p>A staffer whom Gonzales allegedly had an affair with committed suicide.<\/p>\n<div class=\"single__inline-module inline-module inline-module--newsletter aligncenter inline-module--nypostbusinessunit aligncenter wp-block-nypost-editor-newsletter\" data-source-unit=\"Inline Newsletter Module Cali - Morning Report\">\n<div class=\"inline-module__inner\">\n<div class=\"inline-module__title-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"inline-module__unsubmitted-title-wrapper\">\n<h3 class=\"inline-module__title headline headline--combo-sm-md\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSign up for the California Morning Report newsletter\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n<p class=\"inline-module__cta\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCalifornia&#8217;s top news, sports and entertainment delivered to your inbox every day.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"inline-module__title headline headline--combo-sm-md\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThanks for signing up!\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Swalwell has repeatedly denied the accusations, promising in a Friday video that he \u201cwill fight them with everything that I have.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Gonzales has admitted to the affair but insisted \u201cI had absolutely nothing to do with her tragic passing.\u201d He dropped his reelection bid in response.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Rep.
