Steve Garvey considers running for California Senate seat.

Former Los Angeles Dodgers player and Republican Steve Garvey is considering running for the U.S. Senate seat in California, currently held by Democrat Dianne Feinstein. Garvey's potential candidacy could shake up the Republican field and affect which Democrat reaches the November 2024 runoff. While California's overwhelmingly Democratic electorate makes it unlikely for a Republican to win, the state's primary system allows the top two vote-getters to advance to the general election regardless of party, making a strong Republican bid crucial.
