"Steve Garvey's Unconventional Campaign for California Senate"

Steve Garvey, a Republican candidate for the open Senate seat in California, is distancing himself from Donald Trump and considering voting for a Democrat for president. Garvey, a former professional baseball player, is aiming to appeal to independents and moderates in a state where Republicans make up only a quarter of the electorate. His strategy reflects the challenge of winning in a state where a GOP candidate hasn't been elected to a statewide office since 2006. Garvey's approach risks alienating Trump supporters but may be necessary to stand a chance in the general election.
