Vice President Kamala Harris appeared on Saturday Night Live this weekend, teaming up with Maya Rudolph, who frequently portrays her in skits on the show. The duo delivered comedic exchanges, blending humor with political jabs as Election Day approaches.
Humorous Jab at Trump’s Recent Struggles
During the skit, Harris complimented Rudolph’s version of herself, saying, “You got this because you can do something your opponent cannot do. You can open doors.” This was a light-hearted reference to Trump’s awkward attempt to climb into a truck earlier in the week, which gained media attention. Rudolph quickly fired back, saying, “I’m going to vote for us.” Harris humorously responded, “Any chance you’re registered in Pennsylvania?” referencing the critical swing state with 19 Electoral College votes.
Harris Campaign Targets Women Voters
While Harris has downplayed gender in her campaign, a recent advertisement highlights the gender gap in voter support. Voiced by Julia Roberts, the ad encourages women to support Harris, even if their spouses are voting for Trump. This play on potential differences within households reflects a new campaign strategy to appeal directly to women voters.
How Often Do Partners Vote Differently?
A recent YouGov poll revealed that 11% of voters have voted differently from their partner without informing them. Women reported a slightly higher rate at 12%, compared to 9% of men. This finding adds an interesting dimension to Harris’s appeal to women voters, suggesting that some voters might go against their partner’s political preference in the privacy of the voting booth.
Harris Heads to Michigan and Pennsylvania
Following her SNL appearance, Harris is set to campaign in Lansing, Michigan, on Sunday, marking one of her final stops. On Monday, she will conclude her rally schedule in Pennsylvania, visiting key areas like Allentown, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia. Pennsylvania is a significant battleground for Harris’s campaign, as it holds crucial Electoral College votes that could sway the outcome of the election.
Trump’s Final Push in North Carolina
Meanwhile, Trump is focusing his efforts on North Carolina, a competitive swing state. He plans to hold daily rallies there until Election Day, ending with a visit to Raleigh on Monday. On Sunday, he will also return to Kinston, North Carolina, to continue his final rally sweep across the state.
Trump Addresses Immigration at North Carolina Rally
At a rally in Greensboro, Trump criticized immigration policies, pledging to protect American communities from “uncontrolled immigration.” He framed immigration as a potential threat to political power in Black communities, stating, “If this continues, there will be no political power left for them.” This rhetoric reflects Trump’s “America First” stance as he courts voters in North Carolina.
As the election nears, both Harris and Trump are making their final pitches in key battleground states, aiming to secure last-minute support in the final hours of the campaign.
