NEW YORK 鈥� Vice President Harris made a surprise trip to New York City to appear on Saturday Night Live, mocking her opponent, the political men in her life, the historic nature of her candidacy and even her name.
Harris appeared as the mirror image of Maya Rudolph 鈥� who plays Harris on the show 鈥� giving her advice before the final speech of her campaign in Pennsylvania.

"What do we always say? 'Keep Calm-ala and Carry On-ala,'" Harris and Rudolph said in unison.
Harris 鈥� who has for Rudolph鈥檚 send-up of her as 鈥淎merica鈥檚 fun aunt鈥� 鈥� was campaigning in Atlanta and Charlotte, N.C. on Saturday. Reporters traveling with the vice president had expected to then head to Detroit, but after take-off, found out they were instead going to New York.
The sketch comedy show has hosted many of the politicians it mocks over its 50 seasons. In 2015, when he was seeking the Republican nomination, Donald Trump hosted the show.
Trump has since soured on SNL, complaining about it on his as being a "campaign contribution to the Democrats."
The show鈥檚 musical guest on Saturday has been an outspoken critic of the Biden administration鈥檚 support for Israel in its war in Gaza. Because of that, she declined a White House invitation for a Pride Month event. She has said but did not endorse her.
