Kamala Harris comes face-to-face with ‘herself’ in surprise ‘SNL’ appearance days before election

NEW YORK — 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 — who plays Harris on the show — 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 — who has expressed admiration for Rudolph’s send-up of her as “America’s fun aunt” — was campaigning in Atlanta and Charlotte, N.C. 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.
