Maya Rudolph’s Impression of Vice President Kamala Harris Receives Praise from VP and Second Gentleman

Vice President Kamala Harris’ recent rise to the top of the 2024 Democratic presidential ticket has not only caused a stir in the political world but has also made waves in Hollywood. Following President Joe Biden’s decision to step down from the race, the internet was abuzz with talk of Maya Rudolph’s return to “SNL” as Harris.

Rudolph, who received widespread praise for her portrayal of the VP in the sketch comedy series’ Season 50 premiere, recently got some feedback from the woman herself. During an appearance on “The View,” Harris expressed her admiration for Rudolph’s performance, praising her attention to detail in capturing Harris’ mannerisms and style.

In her first live TV interview since becoming the Democratic nominee, Harris also took the opportunity to criticize her Republican opponent, Donald Trump, for his focus on misinformation and fictional characters rather than addressing the real issues facing the American people.

Meanwhile, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff also weighed in on the “SNL” treatment, giving his approval to Andy Samberg’s impression of him and praising Rudolph for her portrayal of Harris.

Fans hoping to see Harris and Rudolph together on “SNL” will have to wait until after the election, as show boss Lorne Michaels has no plans for either candidate to appear before then. But with Rudolph’s spot-on impression and Harris’ approval, it’s clear that the comedic duo has made an impact both on screen and in the political arena.
