Kamala Harris Takes a Dig at Donald Trump on 'Saturday Night Live'

Vice President Kamala Harris made a surprising appearance at Studio 8H at 30 Rockefeller Plaza this weekend.

Following a campaign event in North Carolina, she traveled to New York City on Saturday to feature in the final 'Saturday Night Live' episode before the November 5 elections.

In the show's opening segment, Harris joined her impersonator on 'SNL,' Maya Rudolph, and participated in a sketch spoofing CNN's 'The Source with Kaitlan Collins.'

Harris's appearance took place after a parody by James Austin Johnson mimicking a marathon-length Donald Trump rally speech.

While Rudolph imitated Harris at a campaign stop, she expressed a wish to speak with someone familiar with her unique experience: a 'Black, South Asian woman aiming for the presidency, ideally from the Bay area.'

The camera captured a smiling Harris, responding affirmatively with 'Right there with you, sister.'

Harris humorously referenced a video of Trump awkwardly trying to climb into a garbage truck during a Wisconsin campaign event.

'I'm just here to motivate you. You've got this. You're capable of doing something your opponent can't: unlocking doors,' she encouraged.

The skit continued with Harris critiquing Rudolph's imitation of her laugh, offering a motivational rhyme ('stay calm and press on, Kamala'), and concluding with a jest about Rudolph's voter registration in the crucial swing state of Pennsylvania.

'SNL' is known for featuring political figures. Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Bernie Sanders have all appeared, and Trump hosted in 2015.

Reacting to Harris's involvement, a spokesperson from the Trump campaign commented to News Nation that Harris 'offers no real solutions to the citizens, hence her indulgence in a fantasy role with her elite companions on Saturday Night Live.'

SNL and Politics

'Saturday Night Live' creator Lorne Michaels mentioned earlier this year that there was no initiative to invite political contenders to the show prior to the election.

He explained, 'Inviting real candidates isn't feasible because of electoral regulations and fairness rules.'

'It's impractical to feature major contenders without including all candidates, and there are numerous minor candidates scattered across only a few states, which complicates matters,' Michaels elaborated.

The Harris campaign's representative did not provide a comment to Business Insider's inquiry, submitted outside standard office hours.
