Porter tries to make up ground with attack on Garvey: ‘Once a Dodger, always a Dodger’

Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) targeted Steve Garvey, the lone Republican on stage during California’s first Senate debate, for deflecting questions about his support for former President Donald Trump. 

Garvey, a former Major League Baseball player for the San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers, was pressed by all three House Democrats in the race about the 2024 presidential election. Porter used Garvey’s baseball career against him in grilling the Republican candidate on whom he would cast his ballot for in a rematch between Trump and President Joe Biden.
