Summary

It's not just the White House up for grabs in 2024. There are also races key to who controls Congress. One contest getting national attention is the race in California to fill the Senate seat left up for grabs following the passing of Dianne Feinstein this past September. A few prominent Golden State Democrats, like Congressman Adam Schiff and Congresswoman Katie Porter, are vying for the spot. However, former Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres star Steve Garvey has decided to step up to the plate and challenge the career politicians. Earlier this week, Garvey joined host Dave Anthony to discuss what drove him to launch his Senate campaign and how he'd address the issues he feels are deeply impacting Californians. Garvey, who is running as a Republican, also explained how his message and 'moderate' views could help him score a big upset in the deep blue state. We made edits for time and thought you might like to hear our entire conversation with former Major League Baseball star and current Senate Candidate Steve Garvey. On today's FOX News Rundown Extra, you'll hear even from Garvey about his campaign and the baseball talk that didn't make our original segment. Learn more about your ad choices.
