vice-president Kamala Harris took a surprise trip to Saturday evening live just three days before the presidential election, appearing in the mirror of Maya Rudolphwho once again reprized her role as vice president, this time giving herself a pep talk.

Saturday marked the fifth consecutive week by Rodolphe portrait Harris during the show’s cold open. On this occasion, she and her husband Doug Emhoff (Andy Samberg) first listened to a Trump rally, where the Republican candidate (James Austin Johnson) was exhausted and just saying what came to mind.

“Where the hell am I?” This place stinks! he continued to ramble. “I don’t want to be here with you.” Come on. I’m out of gas. I’m out of breath here, folks. You can see it, can’t you? Cracks appear. I’m exhausted. I’m babbling. I do crazy things with the microphone. »

Rudolph deactivated this scene, then eliminated his running mate Tim Walz one by one (Jim Gaffigan), President Joe Biden (Dana Carvey), and the second gentleman. She then sat down, alone.

“I just wish I could talk to someone who was in my shoes, you know? A black South Asian woman running for president, preferably from the Bay Area,” she said, turning to the mirror – and to Harris herself.

Loud cheers and applause made Harris’s line difficult to hear: “You and me both, sister!”

“I’m just here to remind you: you got this. Because you can do something your opponent can’t do. You can open doors,” Harris said, lashing out at Trump for have trouble Wednesday opening the door of a garbage truck for a photo shoot.

After joining hands, the two men took turns reciting part of the pledge to “end the dramala” and then stood up to face the audience.

“Let me tell you something,” Rudolph said. “I’m going to vote for us.”

When asked by Harris if it was registered in Pennsylvania, Rudolph replied, “Unfortunately no. »

“Well,” Harris replied, “it was worth it.”

Harris covered a lot of ground on Saturday. She started in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where she called Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson said his party would “probably” unveil the CHIPS and Science Act if given the means to do so after the election. Harris also criticized his recent admission that the Affordable Care Act would also be on the verge of being sidelined.

Rallies followed in Atlanta, Georgia and Charlotte, North Carolina. Harris was flying to Michigan ahead of a planned campaign day Sunday when Air Force Two changed course for New York.

While candidates from major political parties like Trump, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama appeared on SNLnone did so as close to Election Day as Harris.

And for Harris, a ratings-obsessed former reality TV star opponent, to beam into the homes of millions while appearing on a show filmed just steps from Trump Tower, past behavior suggests that Trump is destined to react negatively. After all, as president, he actually probed what the Federal Communications Commission and the Justice Department could do to stop the sketch from satirizing him.
