Democratic gubernatorial candidate Tony Evers and his running mate, Mandela Barnes, livestreamed their 45-minute drive between Appleton and Green Bay on Tuesday as part of a campaign gimmick to mock Republican Gov. Scott Walker for taking the state airplane for the same trip in 2016.

With Evers behind the wheel and Barnes in the passenger seat, they jokingly referred to the event broadcast on their campaign’s Facebook page as the “Tony and Mandela Show.”

“We gotta watch out for the Scott-holes, they’re everywhere,” Evers said, referring to potholes by the name Democrats have come up with to link them to Walker as they argue he’s neglected road maintenance.

“You see we’re bouncing around; there’s a reason why the camera is moving so quickly,” Evers said. “I can’t look at the camera or Mandela because I need to keep my eyes on the road.”

The livestream took on the feel of a late-night talk show at times (albeit a low-budget one), with Evers and Barnes feigning surprise as they took phone calls from three other Democrats — U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan, attorney general candidate Josh Kaul and state treasurer candidate Sarah Godlewski.

“We got to talk to a congressman, how about that?” Evers said after hanging up with Pocan, of Black Earth.
