"California Senate Race: Garvey's Surge and Republican Obstacles"

Recent polls suggest that Republicans may be locked out of California's Senate election, as the state's "jungle primary" system could result in two Democrats advancing to the November general election. Former baseball star Steve Garvey is the top Republican candidate, but polls are split on whether he will advance. Even if no Republican candidate makes it past the primary, Republican voters could still influence the general election, but the deeply Democratic state is unlikely to see a competitive race.
