Kamala Harris makes historic debut on Saturday Night Live before election
U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris made her debut on "Saturday Night Live" ahead of the November 5 election. In a sketch with Maya Rudolph, who impersonates her, Harris encouraged viewers to "keep calm-ala" and highlighted her unique position as a Black, South-Asian woman running for president. The appearance comes just days before the election, contrasting with recent moments from Republican nominee Donald Trump, who struggled to open a garbage truck door during a campaign event. Harris used humor to address the political climate and connect with voters. This marks a significant moment as Harris is the first sitting vice president to appear on the show. "Saturday Night Live" has featured various presidential candidates over the years, including Trump in 2015.
