Former Dodgers Star Steve Garvey Explores Republican Senate Bid in Blue California

Garvey, a retired baseball player, has been meeting with GOP leaders and donors to gauge support for a 2024 Senate run.
The seat is currently held by Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who is not seeking re-election.
Garvey would run on quality-of-life issues like cost of living and public safety but faces long odds in a state dominated by Democrats.
His candidacy could energize Republicans and boost turnout, helping other GOP candidates down the ballot.
Despite his fame and popularity, Garvey would start the race at a disadvantage due to California's lopsided voter registration in favor of Democrats.
