CBS Starts Hyping 2028 Democrats, Gallego’s Ability To Speak Spanish
The 2026 midterm elections are still over a year away, but CBS White House correspondent Ed O’Keefe is already looking past that to 2028. On CBS Saturday Morning, O’Keefe traveled to Iowa for a friendly profile of Arizona Sen. Ruben Gallego amid speculation he might run for president. O’Keefe would both marvel over Gallego’s ability to speak Spanish and ignore that Gallego wasn’t exactly well-received at the state fair despite playing footage of him at the event.
O’Keefe began his piece at a meatpacking plant, “In the meat industry, and in politics, this is how the sausage gets made. Politician stops by a factory for a meet and greet before sunshine and hams it up with the rank and file. But Arizona Democratic Senator Ruben Gallego once worked at a meat processing plant like this. And he can speak the language many of the workers prefer.”
After a clip of Gallego speaking Spanish, O’Keefe wondered, “Why are we here?”
