With news that Joe Biden has won the race for US president, his running mate, Kamala Harris, made history. The vice president-elect will become the first woman ever elected to the position, as well as the first Black and first Asian American. One of the earliest to congratulate Harris was someone who knows VP duties well, at least on television: Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who played Vice President (eventually President) Selina Meyer on HBO’s Emmy-winning comedy series Veep, which ended in 2019. «‘Madam Vice President’ is no longer a fictional character,» Louis-Dreyfus tweeted. Louis Dreyfus may have been happy about Harris’ new job, but her Veep character wouldn’t have been, said David Mandel, the show’s executive producer. «I want to be very clear about this: Selina Meyer would hate Kamala Harris,» Mandel said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times published Sunday.
