Showing Original Post only (View all)Steve Garvey climbing the polls in California's U.S. Senate race [View all]
https://ktla.com/news/california-politics/steve-garvey-climbing-the-polls-in-californias-u-s-senate-race/A recent poll from Politico shows Garvey, who is running as a Republican, with the support of 19% of likely California voters, second to Congressman Adam Schiffs 28%. A Policy Institute of California poll conducted in mid-November had Garvey at 10%, trailing both Schiff (21%) and Rep. Katie Porter (16%).
To date, the former Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres slugger has not offered any specific proposals about border security or laid out detailed positions on other key issues.
He also hasnt revealed where, as a Republican, he stands on former President Trump in 2024 and whether he voted for him in the past.
But at the moment, Garvey isnt offering any specific proposals on how to achieve those priorities, running for now on the promise that he is the best candidate for the U.S. Senate seat once occupied by Senator Dianne Feinstein.
Oh lordy

Edit to change my mind. If Barbara Lee drops before the primary, her supporters would likely go to Katie.

Garvey "isn't offering any specific proposals". So then apparently, he stands for nothing but wants votes. How GOP

Well, as a baseball player he was very good at hitting into double plays. Doesn't that count for something?

He's got great hair for an old man. That counts for a lot in California.
