Former Dodgers player Steve Garvey, a staunch Republican is a superstar in California. But just last month, a POLITICO | Morning Consult poll clocked Garvey at 19 percent, placing him in a statistical dead-heat for second place behind Schiff, the Democratic frontrunner — and giving him a shot at making it out of the state’s jungle primary and into the top-two runoff in November. For the first time in a long time, Republicans in California feel they just might stand a chance at statewide office — even if that chance isn’t all that great.

Could a Baseball Star Really Flip Dianne Feinstein's Seat?

Steve Garvey is betting his starpower can break California Republicans’ losing streak. Just don’t ask him how.

Does Steve Garvey think this country has never been racist?

He played with Black stars like Reggie Smith and Dusty Baker, who was beloved as a Dodgers....Garvey was a good teammate to them, and Garvey is running on tax cuts and deregulation...not race.

Nothing like Republicans s running for the common man giving tax cuts to the rich. Also deregulations are for corporations not the common man

Not being allowed to dump waste into public waters goes against corporations bottom line

Most people in CA today do not even remember who Steve Garvey is, but I do hope he places second.

He will get demolished in the general election and then the resources that were going to be spent on Schiff v. Porter will be spent elsewhere.

CA GOP should of ran Mike Piazza, former Dodger and Met, he'd do well. Piazza is a staunch MAGA, he'd do well in OC.

Pathetic that the Democrats would have spent money propping Schiff up against Porter. But already saw them do that at a smaller scale in my house district (TX-28) where they pushed right winger Henry Cuellar over the finish line (by 289 votes) when he had a primary challenge from a great candidate in Jessica Cisneros.

Garvey doesn't stand a chance in hell of winning a senate seat in California.

I like Steve Garvey, I used to bet on him in the Breeders Cup.

When Steve Garvey dodged accountability for fathering two children with different women in the span of one year​

Not in California.

It did almost work in Georgia. It's sick how close that absolute trash bag of a human being got to the Senate.

Garvey is not going to win, baseball's conservative stars today are afraid to say they are conservative because they are pressured to stay quiet.

lol yes, they are. The days of the Lenny Dykstras, Al Leiters, John Francos and John Rockers of the world ruling baseball with their opinions are over.

Social media, especially in sports and locker rooms won't allow it. Any athlete with a rightwing view will be looked at differently, especially in a locker room that is minority-dominated...
