Republican Sens.
Mike Lee (Utah) and
Ted Cruz (Texas) have joined calls to end MLB's antitrust exemption following its decision to pull the 2021 All-Star Game out of Atlanta.
MLB
announced the move on Friday, saying it would relocate the game in protest of Georgia’s voting restrictions signed into law last week. The decision has sparked blowback from GOP lawmakers across the country.
GOP Rep.
Jeff Duncan (S.C.) said earlier Friday that
he had told his staff to start drafting legislation to remove MLB’s decades-old antitrust exemption “in light of @MLB's stance to undermine election integrity laws.”

I wouldn't expect anything less petty from Ted Cruz.
