Hi, everyone
Is it wrong to omit the verb in the second part of these sentences?
“People were more interested in national news than they WERE IN local news”
“They will be more interested in your product than they WILL IN mine”
Thank you

You can leave out 'they were in' and 'they will in' and it will mean the same.

Hi Fernando, you can say:
They are more interested in (the first thing) than (the second thing).
Example: The like apples more than oranges. It’s just as accepted as saying: They like apples more than they like oranges.
