Vice President Kamala Harris made a surprise appearance on **Saturday Night Live** this weekend after campaigning in battleground states. She joined Maya Rudolph, who frequently impersonates her, during the show’s cold open.
In the sketch, Rudolph’s Harris expressed a wish to consult someone who understands her challenges. Turning to a mirror, she was met with the real Harris, both dressed alike. “I’m just here to remind you, you got this,” Harris said, adding a playful jab at Donald Trump by referencing his recent struggle to open a garbage truck door: “Because you can do something your opponent cannot do: You can open doors.”
The comedic duo continued their banter, with Rudolph encouraging Harris to “take my palm-ala,” leading to a humorous exchange about calming the chaos: “And end the dram-ala,” Harris quipped, echoing Rudolph’s earlier line, “Keep calm-ala, and carry on-ala,” which drew cheers from the audience.
John Mulaney hosted the episode, with Chappell Roan as the musical guest. Harris’s unexpected appearance comes as part of a broader strategy to engage voters just before the election. Earlier in the week, she invited Cardi B to join her at a Wisconsin rally, while Jennifer Lopez also made an appearance in support of her campaign in Las Vegas.
