Live updates: Donald Trump, election news from Kamala Harris

Democratic presidential candidate vice president kamala harris appears at the cold opening of

Vice President Kamala Harris appeared on “Saturday Night Live” and made 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 this,” Harris said to her “SNL” alter ego, Maya Rudolph.

The cold open began with a parody of CNN’s “The Source with Kaitlan Collins,” showing viewers a parody of Donald Trump before cutting to a shot backstage at a fictional Harris rally in Philadelphia.

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

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

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

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

At one point, Rudolph denounced the vice president’s laugh, to which the vice president responded, “I don’t really laugh like that, do I?”

“A little bit,” Rudolph replied, like Harris.

Harris’ appearance is consistent with a media blitz in recent weeks that aims to reach voters where they are — including friendlier interviews with Alex Cooper of “Call Her Daddy” and radio personality Charlemagne Tha God — as she finds herself in a dead heat race with Trump remains. with two days until election day.

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