Ron DeSantis agreed in a recent interview that MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred should apologize for taking the All-Star Game away from Atlanta in 2021 in response to Georgia’s voter laws. Manfred said earlier this month that Atlanta was "in the mix" to host the All-Star Game in the future. Abrams told a senior league official that she wanted him to denounce the Georgia voting rights law, according to people with direct knowledge of the matter. After these conversations, Manfred believed the All-Star Game would be turned into a political event and players would boycott the game, those people said. However, Georgia's voters set the record for most ballots cast before Election Day in a midterm election, according to state election officials, debunking claims from top Democrats that the state's election law would lead to voter suppression.
