How to use drama in a sentence?

1. Jim Merrill:

   I guess before people jump out for any candidate, they want to make sure they are sincere. Nikki certainly has her supporters. Tim is almost universally liked, and obviously South Carolinians have certainly heard about [Florida Gov. Ron] DeSantis and [Virginia Gov.] Glenn Youngkin, there is some wariness over the whole drama that follows President Trump sometimes.

2. Debra Birnbaum:

   Viola brings Oscar caliber, and a lot of people were really surprised that 'Empire' didn't get a nomination for best drama series, 'Empire' was the talk of last season and if people really want to honor that show, they will throw their support behind Taraji.

3. Eddie Pepperell:

   I just figured it was going to be a tap-in, i was kind of relieved I didn't have to face a three-footer in front of all those people, and then obviously when it went in, what can I say, it was pretty awesome. The effort lifted Pepperell to 14-under-par, which at the time looked to have given him a shot at winning but ultimately was only good enough for a share of third two shots behind champion Rory McIlroy. The drama at the 17th was not over yet, however, as Jhonattan Vegas was in the next group to approach the hole. The Venezuelan's tee shot barely cleared the water and his ball stopped, unpromisingly for his birdie chances, some 70 feet from the hole. Undeterred, he banged it home to join Pepperell at 14-under with the longest putt ever made at the hole, according to the PGA Tour.

4. Ingvar Matsson:

   It could be interpreted as a step back from the previous plans to sell the whole business in Germany, but there is no big drama in this as they will continue with the sale of lignite operations.

5. Kit Harington:

   It pre-dated 'Thrones' and it did things that we're ('Game of Thrones') now credited for (doing in) changing drama, i think there's always shows before really huge ones that do that and I think 'Spooks' did do that.
