The onetime baseball star would run as a Republican, reshaping the state's senatorial race.
Steve Garvey played for the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres, making him an icon in a populous and Republican-rich swath of California. | Mark J. Terrill/AP PhotoLos Angeles Dodgers legend and Republican Steve Garvey has discussed the possibility of running to succeed Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a move that would reshape California’s marquee Senate race.
Garvey’s possible entrance — first reported by the Los Angeles Times — would jolt a still-forming Republican field and could disrupt the overall race enough to affect which Democrat reaches the November 2024 runoff. Name recognition could boost his chances of consolidating an up-for-grabs Republican electorate. The only GOP candidate so far — Eric Early — ran for attorney general in 2022 but has never held elected office.Word of a potential Garvey candidacy has circulated among California Republicans for years.
California’s overwhelmingly Democratic electorate all but ensures that a Democrat will replace Feinstein. But the state’s primary system, which allows the top two vote-getters to advance to the general election regardless of party, complicates the path. A strong Republican bid could mean only one Democrat advances.
