Dear DW's Brent.
Gavin Newsom is the governor of California, not Colorado.

[MWSCologne]

The season finale of „US President“ just keeps getting better and better. Probably a bit unrealistic though, nobody would believe this could happen in the real world.

[florianmaier]

A slightly more critical commentator would help. Why just air a fan boy?

[c.a.]

OK, he lost me after suggesting "Tom Hanks" as a possible VP pick 🙄

[SamzerSamz]

Who is this clown, suggesting even tom hanks, are you kidding me

[angelaromero]

Gavin Newsom is the governor of California., not Colorado. LOL

[zemlidrakona]

It catches the Trump campaign off guard? Like this hasn't been openly discussed since the debates.

[LordCommissarLex]

Y'all are too focused on making Trump look bad rather than on policy You're doing the same thing though Hillary did. And now you will have her full outcome as well

[kevink]

Kamala's schedule this week: Calls, calls, calls and more calls.

[meir]

is Ethan Bearman a political commentator or a commercial for biden? 🤔🤔

[Fellowtellurian]

She does not resonate with Gen Z until she takes a stand against genocide

[Keenon]

Ethan is either an ignorant shill or an intentional propagandist

[stark-tonny]

Every one has to brace for a turbulent future .

[jtothed]

So when the money taps turned off they decided to remove him, amazing…

[S.P.]

Let's not forget the importance of the "Passage of time".

[andrewvare]

Maybe Kamala names Willie Brown as her running mate?

[astragrowth]

Terrible sign when the "reporters" are fawning all over politicians.

[libertarian]

She's an awful candidate- they should pick a young, moderate, well-liked Governor like Andy Beshear of Kentucky.

[topsingles]

Newsom? Colorado? He is California's governor.California's economy is bigger than Germany's.

[moniho]

Gavin newsome is the gov for california not colorado
