Vice President Kamala Harris made a surprise appearance on «Saturday Night Live» in the final days before , playing herself as the mirror-image double of Maya Rudolph’s version of her.
The first lines the candidate spoke as she sat across from Rudolph was drowned out by cheers from the audience.
«It is nice to see you Kamala», Harris told Rudolph. «And I’m just here to remind you, you got this.»
In sync, the two said supporters need to «Keep Kamala and carry-on-ala», declared that they share each other’s «belief in the promise of America», and delivered the signature «Live from New York it’s Saturday night!»
During their approximately two-minute exchange, Harris also referenced her opponent, former President Donald Trump, on an airport tarmac in Green Bay, Wisconsin, during which Trump briefly struggled to open the door of a garbage truck before climbing into it.
The stunt was made by President Biden on Tuesday in which he appeared to call Trump supporters «garbage» on a video call with Latino activists. The White House has denied that was Mr. Biden’s intention.
«It is nice to see you, Kamala, and I’m just here to remind you, you’ve got this, because you can do something your opponent cannot do», Harris told Rudolph. «You can open doors.»
«I can see what you did there», Rudolph responded. «Like to a garbage truck, right?»
Harris made the surprise trip to New York City with the election looming, briefly stepping away from the battleground states where she’s been furiously campaigning in favor of the iconic sketch comedy show, where she was hoping to generate buzz and appeal to a nationwide audience.
