WASHINGTON—U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., announced Monday he will no longer seek the Democratic Party’s nomination for president, becoming the first candidate to pull out of the 2020 race. He plans to instead run for reelection to his congressional seat in the San Francisco Bay Area. Swalwell, who has served in Congress since 2013, said that the “polls have had their way” with his campaign. He was in danger of being excluded from the next debates at the end of this month due to low polling and donation numbers.

The U.S. Supreme Court temporarily blocked the inclusion of the question late last month.

The U.S. national team won its fourth Women’s World Cup and second in a row Sunday in a 2-0 victory against the Netherlands in Lyon, France. The U.S. team also won the title in 1991, 1999, and 2015. “We’ve been tested individually and collectively so much,” star striker Alex Morgan said. “So to see, four years ago, us go from two [championships] to three, and now three to four, it’s really a dream come true.”
