Mike Piazza's video pitch for Larry Elder fails to sway California voters to oust Newsom in recall election
Fox News
Baseball Hall of Famer Mike Piazza went to bat for California Republican Larry Elder on Tuesday, urging voters to oust first-term Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom in the state's recall election – but it didn't work.
With Tuesday being decision day in the recall election, Piazza, 53, a former star with the New York Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers, posted a 44-second video on Twitter endorsing Elder, a conservative talk radio host who was the Republican frontrunner. "All everyone talks about is moving out of California. Larry Elder wants to change this."
"Get out and vote to recall Gavin Newsom and put Larry Elder in Sacramento," Piazza said in the video. "When I got to L.A., that’s all my friends talked about was moving to California. And now all everyone talks about is moving out of California. Larry Elder wants to change this. He’s a man who deeply loves California and will bring back the California dream. Vote for Larry Elder."
