Notes: Smoltz has appeared on networks like Newsmax, whereas Glavine has not.

Federal Election Commission records indicate that Tom Glavine has a history of contributing to both Republican and Democratic interests, though the majority of his activity occurred prior to the MAGA era. He notably contributed to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee in 2004 and Mitt Romney (R) in 2007.
Notes: Donations include $5,000 to the DSCC (2004) and $2,300 to Romney for President (2007).
