Former President Donald Trump maintained that Republican Senate candidate Steve Garvey does not have a chance of winning a Senate seat without being backed by MAGA Republicans.

On Friday, Trump was asked whether he would endorse Garvey while campaigning in Rancho Palos Verdes, California.
Trump responded, saying he “doesn’t know much” yet about Garvey, but added that he believes Garvey has made a “big mistake” by not reaching out to him or other “MAGA” Republicans.
Trump was then asked if Garvey had asked for his endorsement, to which he reiterated that they had not spoken.
“Steve Garvey’s a nice guy. I don’t [really] know him, at all. But if he doesn’t reach out to MAGA, he has absolutely no chance,” Trump said.
Trump also used the opportunity to blast Garvey’s opponent, Representative Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), asserting that Schiff is “one of the most disgusting human beings.”
“And to think he’s going to be a senator, that’s why you need me as president, because this guy is a sleazebag,” he added.
Garvey, a former baseball player on the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres, will face Schiff in November after both advanced through California’s primary in March, defeating Representative Katie Porter (D-Calif.) and Barbara Lee (D-Calif.).
The Senate seat opened up after Senator Dianne Feinstein passed away in September of 2023.
A poll by RealClearPolitics has shown Schiff leading Garvey by 57.3% to 33%.
