here you have someone like steve garvey. he's the only one of stature. he's a fresh face and a hero and has been around. hall of famer and the dodgers and the padres. he is well known and liked. he represents a threat. >> would it surprise you if you became a senator?>> there is a long way from a threat to a senator. he has a good shot at getting into the top two. in california it's not the top republican or democrat. so here he is saying, watch out. i'm coming in. and he goes from nowhere to 19%. a lot of votes will be scattered between the democrats and he could come in number two.>> what makes this so unique and impactful? >> the first thing is the top two. democrats usually cleanup. this time maybe not. independence can vote for democrats. republicans will not let them in. they will vote for the moderate. and maybe she will get more votes to separate himself from the others. as the vote is split, guess who walks in? steve garvey. >> what will happen now between right now until march? what will we see?>> steve garvey will be better off if the other re

so you'll watch the democrats come after on this anniversary of the roe decision someone like steve garvey. garvey has to show that he can perform and if he can, can he move on to that second stage given california's kind of top two system? nonetheless adam schiff still in the driver's seat in this race. >> i want to go back to steve garvey and get your take on him because it's his first political debate. he doesn't have a lot of political experience, if any, but given that the field is what it is, does that actually work to his advantage to be kind of the outsider of this group? >> look, there are a lot of democrats in the state. about one in four voters roughly are republicans, but republicans stay closer to party. they vote more en masse. they don't tend to scatter like democrats do. as a result, these democrats are kind of slicing and dicing the electorate. that's true. if republicans stay whole, someone like garvey if he's providing an alternative to the other two republicans in the race who are not on the debate stage, he can move forward from march into november. nonetheless, by mov

>> that in the state of california, you've got steve garvey, the lone republican who's running rightsecond place, polling that high. >> it doesn't. it doesn't. because remember, first of all, the democrats are all it's it's, you know, like 60 40 or so democrat republican and the democrats are basically splitting 3 ways which we katie and are republicans have nowhere else to and so what they're trying to do is see more here going to be the guy. finally we've been looking for since 1988, which is the last time a republican won a senate seat in california. and you know what you saw last night from steve garvey was someone who just really trying to figure out who he right. he is especially trying to say i'm noe those guys in the senate. i'm not, you know, really for trump. i did vote for him twice, but i would say going to vote for him again, which again was really i say swing and miss. i would say he he was looking for an intentional walk on that one. and just watching the bulls go by. and it kind of saying i'm not those things, but i am maybe ronald reagan. >> i mean, it was funny. eve
