Gavin Newsom has expressed doubts about Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s relationship while also weighing in on the GOP debate.
The California governor made the remarks while attending the Republican debate on Wednesday at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California.
In a brief interview with CBS News, Newsom dismissed the debate as “a vice presidential debate at best.”
Seven candidates qualified for the debate stage: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, former Vice President Mike Pence, former New Jersey Governor, Chris Christie, and North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum.
Before the debate, Newsom said, “I really mean it, this is a vice president debate at best.” This is the JV team. Donald Trump is running away with this.’

The governor continued, “Not just a double-digit lead, more than forty percent in a poll released today.” That’s the XFL, it’s entertainment, I guess.
“I’m here to witness it, to observe it, but I’m also here to denounce the nonsense and the misinformation and make the case again for the Biden file.”
Trump skipped the event and instead spoke to auto industry union leaders in a Detroit suburb an hour before the debate.
Trump has suggested he might bypass any primary debates, stressing that the events were beneath him because no candidate could match his poll numbers.
On Monday, during a campaign stop in Summerville, South Carolina, the former president called the Republican primary debates “stupid.”
“It’s basically an interview. “Look at the debates, it’s an interview and so far I’m not too interested,” he said at a campaign field office.
In addition to addressing the debate, Newsom also commented on the new romance between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.
A TMZ reporter asked the governor, “Taylor Swift is dating Travis Kelce, what do you think?”
Newsom smiled joyfully and replied, “I know it’s actually the only thing people are talking about, they’re not going to join the debate.”
“That’s the real debate, is it real, isn’t it?”

Their new romance stunned the world this week, but to date neither high-profile couple had publicly commented on the situation after they were spotted leaving Arrowhead Stadium together in his vintage convertible.
Speaking alongside his brother Jason on the latest episode of their popular New Heights podcast, Travis finally broke his silence and addressed “the rollercoaster ride of life”: “Kudos to Taylor for stopping.” That was pretty bold.
“I just loved how everyone in the suite had nothing but great things to say about her.” The friends and family. She looked great, everyone spoke great about her.
“In addition, the day was of course perfect for the Chiefs fans. We write everything, ladies and gentlemen. It was just impressive.’
Taylor went viral throughout the afternoon and evening after he was pictured next to Donna Kelce as the two laughed and chatted throughout the game.
“Seeing the chest bumps in slow motion, seeing the high fives with mom, seeing how excited Chiefs Kingdom was that she was there, that shit was absolutely hysterical, it was definitely a game I’ll remember , that is.” “Damn sure,” Travis added. “And then we just ended up driving away in the getaway car…”
“Thanks to Taylor for coming by and seeing me rock the stage.”
The days since have been something of a whirlwind for Travis and Taylor, with the entire world desperate for more information about their romance, just like Newsom.

Travis himself is a big name in the world of NFL, but his romance with Taylor has taken it to the next level – with paparazzi now congregating outside his home.
“They all have a British accent or a European accent,” he joked on the podcast, before his brother Jason asked how he knew they were paparazzi.
In pictures acquired by TMZ, Swift was seen snuggling up to her new boyfriend and putting her arm around him lovingly at a private party at Prime Social in Kansas City, Missouri.
After the game, the couple, who reportedly started dating in July, enjoyed a “tender” late-night dinner and stayed out until 2 a.m
The couple had also reportedly paid for everyone’s dinner in order to vacate the restaurant and have some privacy for themselves.
“Travis bought the restaurant for his family and team,” an eyewitness previously told Entertainment Tonight.

The source also revealed that Swift was “wearing a denim dress” when she arrived and was seen snacking, drinking cocktails and dancing alongside Travis.
The insider also said that the two were “very loving towards each other, but kept things fun and lighthearted.”
Although Swift and her new boyfriend publicly revealed their romance during the game and spent the weekend together, a source said they weren’t “rushing into anything serious” but were “enjoying life together.”
“Both are very career-focused, so that’s the focus for now,” the source added. “But that won’t stop them from enjoying life when the moment is right.”

The first romantic connection between the two came when it was revealed that the Kansas City Chiefs tight end attended her Eras Tour concert and tried to give her his number.
In a previous episode of his podcast, he revealed that he attended her show at Arrowhead Stadium but couldn’t get her number.
“I was disappointed that she doesn’t speak before or after her performances because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs she sings,” he said at the time.
“It hurt me a little that I couldn’t give her one of the bracelets I made for her,” he continued.
