**Saturday Night Live Skewers Political Bromance in Vice Presidential Debate Spoof**

This past weekend, "Saturday Night Live" took a hilarious swipe at both political parties by parodying the unusual camaraderie displayed during Tuesday's vice presidential debate. The show's cold open featured Maya Rudolph reprising her role as Kamala Harris, who is bewildered as she observes the debate's antics from her living room, alongside her husband Doug Emhoff, played by Andy Samberg.

Rudolph's Harris keeps her composure, albeit with some effort, as her running mate Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, brought to life by Jim Gaffigan, struggles to answer questions posed by CBS moderators Norah O'Donnell, portrayed by Heidi Gardner, and Margaret Brennan, impersonated by Chloe Fineman. Harris sips wine to calm her nerves, quipping, "I kind of wish I had picked Josh right now," before humorously clarifying, "No, Josh cabernet," and opening another bottle to refill her glass.

The sketch highlights Walz's real-life blunder about befriending school shooters, causing Rudolph's Harris to grip her glass so tightly it breaks. The situation grows even more awkward when the Democratic governor lauds former President Donald Trump's running mate, Senator JD Vance of Ohio, depicted by Bowen Yang, for deftly evading the issues. The politicians' comments about their "common ground" culminate in a rom-com style mutual admiration, leaving Harris exasperated and questioning, "Why are they friends? Why are they vibing?"

Adding another layer of humor, "SNL" veteran Dana Carvey pops in as a fumbling President Joe Biden, who attempts to reassure Harris by dismissively declaring, "The vice president doesn't matter! Who the hell was Obama's VP? Nobody knows!" The sketch perfectly encapsulates the chaotic and humorous elements of the vice presidential debate, providing audiences with a clever satirical take on current political dynamics.
