On Tuesday, the famous baseball hall, Mike Piazza, went to beat California Republican Larry Elder, and urged voters to oust first-term Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom in the state’s re-election, but no it worked.
Newsom managed to defend the challenges of Elder and a camp of other Republicans to stay in office to complete his term.
On Tuesday, the day of the election decision, Piazza, a 53-year-old former New York Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers star, posted a 44-second video on Twitter supporting Elder, a conservative radio host who he was the Republican leader.
