Alec Baldwin took the stage as Fox News's Bret Baier, while Maya Rudolph reprised her role as the Vice President.

The skit opened with Baldwin's version of Baier warmly welcoming Harris, played by Rudolph, poking fun at the interview's tense moments. The show quickly pivoted to a mocked clip of Trump, portrayed by James Austin Johnson, dancing during his rally on Monday, which had notable interruptions due to medical emergencies in the crowd. Attempting to defend Trump's antics, Baldwin/Baier quipped, "I think he makes a pretty compelling argument."

During the actual event, Trump had downplayed questions following the medical incidents, urging the crowd to enjoy the music instead. The rally saw the former President swaying to hits such as "YMCA" and "It's A Man's Man's Man's World" for about 30 minutes. Rudolph, in character, sarcastically remarked, "He can dance all he wants to 'YMCA' or to any other song he doesn't realize is a gay anthem."

The satirical segment didn't miss the chance to lampoon Trump's controversial remarks about the January 6 Capitol riots. Johnson's Trump impression delivered the line, "January 6 was a day of love, all right. Love and peace. It was basically Woodstock. People were being peaceful. No one died, except for the few that did."

Finally, the show returned to the recent dance-filled town hall with Johnson mockingly addressing Trump's supporters, "Now that I got your vote, let's dance." The comedic portrayal underscored the bizarre combination of political messaging and impromptu dance parties that characterized the former president's latest rally.
