She ran in the 49th congressional district in 2018, but was only able to conjure up about 16 percent of the vote in the primary election.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite her failed previous bid for the House, she\u2019s trying again. And this time she has been endorsed by Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), not that that means much.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re not familiar with Swalwell, you\u2019re about to be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To start, Swalwell is no stranger to failed bids for elected office, given that he launched an extremely short lived campaign for president in April 2019 and suspended his campaign just two months later. He never polled above one percent, showing just how irrelevant he is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, Swalwell made national headlines in November when he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0XK797-vj4k&amp;feature=youtu.be\">farted<\/a>, loudly, live on air during a Trump impeachment interview.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He has since denied that this occurred, but the video evidence doesn\u2019t lie.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swalwell is also known to be fiercely anti-Trump, as can be inferred by some of his recent tweets.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Every second we spend attacking Trump\u2019s lawyers is a second we aren\u2019t reminding people about their client: the most corrupt president ever. Who cares about his insignificant lawyers? Trump is cheating and must be stopped. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/impeachment?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#impeachment<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Rep.

While many Democrats likely think the same thing privately, Swalwell was foolish enough to say the quiet part out loud.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That hasn\u2019t discouraged Jacobs, however. She gleefully tweeted about being endorsed by Swalwell, as well as two other members of Congress with little name recognition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">It&#39;s an honor to be endorsed by Reps Swalwell, Kim, and Frankel.
