Constant updates: Donald Trump, Kamala Harris election news

Vice President Kamala Harris appeared on “Saturday Night Live,” making a surprise stop during the show’s final episode before Election Day to give her fictional self some advice ahead of Tuesday’s presidential election. “You got it,” Harris told her “SNL” alter ego, Maya Rudolph.

The cold open began with a parody of CNN’s “The Source with Caitlan Collins,” which showed viewers a parody of Donald Trump, and then cut to behind-the-scenes footage of Harris’ fictitious rally in Philadelphia.

After Andy Samberg as Doug Emhoff left the set, Rudolph walked over to the dressing room table and mused aloud, “I just, I wish I could talk to somebody who’s been in my shoes, you know, a black woman. South Asian running for president, preferably from the Bay Area.”

Harris sat across from Rudolph, who has played the vice president on “Saturday Night Live” several times this fall, and was wearing a similar outfit.

“You and I are both sisters,” the vice president replied.

“It’s good to see you Kamala and I’m just here to remind you that you got this because you can do what your opponent can’t do. You can open doors,” the vice president said through a mirror-like set.

At one point, Rudolph made fun of the Vice President’s laughter, to which the Vice President responded, “I don’t really laugh that much, do I?”

“A little,” replied Rudolph as Harris.

Harris’ appearance is consistent with the campaign’s media push in recent weeks to reach voters where they are, including friendly interviews with Call Her Daddy’s Alex Cooper and radio host Charlemagne Ta God, as she remains in a dead heat with Trump. two days before election day.

She later told reporters that the SNL appearance was “fun.”
