Former baseball MVP Steve Garvey joined the race Tuesday to succeed the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., giving Republicans a splash of star quality on the ballot in a heavily Democrat state where the GOP has not won a Senate race in 35 years.
Former baseball MVP Steve Garvey joined the race Tuesday to succeed the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., giving Republicans a splash of star quality on the ballot in a heavily Democrat state where the GOP has not won a Senate race in 35 years.
In an interview, Garvey said he voted for Trump in the past but had not settled on a pick in the unfolding 2024 presidential contest. He did not answer directly when asked if he considered himself part of the Trump wing of the GOP. Trump lost California in landslides in 2016 and 2020, though he had support from millions of Republican and conservative-leaning voters in the state.
On abortion, an issue Democrats hope will galvanize the party's base after the Supreme Court last year overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, Garvey said he does not support a nationwide abortion ban. California runs a primary that sends the two candidates with the most votes to the general election, regardless of political party. In California's last two Senate races, GOP candidates performed so poorly that only Democrats appeared on the November ballot. The last Republican to win a Senate race in the state was in 1988.
Garvey has flirted with the possibility of entering politics before, including after his retirement from baseball, when he teased a possible U.S. Senate run but never became a candidate.
