Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate for the US presidential election, made an unexpected appearance on the Saturday Night Live skit comedy TV show, playing as the mirror-image double of her impersonator Maya Rudolph. During the skit, she playfully mocked her own signature laugh.
Harris sat across from Rudolph as the show started. “It is nice to see you Kamala,” Harris told Rudolph, maintaining a broad smile throughout the entire sketch.
They said together, Americans want to “end the drama-la” in politics “with a cool new stepmom-ala.” “Keep Calm-ala and carry on-ala,” they remarked.
Harris continued, “I’m here to remind you, you’ve got this, because you can do something your opponent can’t do, you can open doors.”
When Rudolph burst into a loud, familiar imitation of Kamala’s cackle, the candidate responded, “I don’t really laugh like that do I?”
“A little bit,” Rudolph responded.
Saturday Night Live hosted politicians at multiple locations, including Donald Trump in 2015. However, appearing so close to election day is unusual.
Kamala Harris is set to face her Republican rival in the November 5 election, anticipated to be one of the closest contests in American history. On Sunday, both candidates focused their efforts on key battleground states. Harris delivered her final campaign speech at a historically Black church in Michigan, while Trump held a rally in Pennsylvania and later campaigned in South Carolina.
Harris said in Detroit, “In just two days we have the power to decide the fate of our nation for generations to come. We must act. It’s not enough to only pray; not enough to just talk. We must act on the plans He has in store for us, and we must make them real through our works, in our daily choices, in services to our communities, in our democracy.”
Meanwhile, Trump asserted, “Here’s all you need to know: Kamala broke it and we’re going to fix it”. “It’s a crooked country. And we’re going to make it straight. We’re going to make it straight,” he said.
Opinion polls predict a tight race, with Harris bolstered by strong support among women voters, while Trump gains ground with Hispanic voters, especially men.
