This kind of reads tone deaf to undecided voters, many people don’t watch SNL. Would have been better going on another show or podcast where undecided or conservatives watch try and plead her case (hopefully talk about policy) to a wide audience. Having a Kumbaya with a select few (not many people watch SNL anymore) of people who are already voting for her is not the way to do it. It is also not the way to solidify her allegedly bringing the country together.

Do you think she's going on a news show or a podcast at 11:30pm on Saturday night? It was a perfectly reasonable use of that time slot and not that hard to simply stop in NY on her way between campaign events in NC and GA on Saturday and then WI and MI on Sunday. It's a national audience and allows her to show a different side of her personality. Well worth the stop in NY at a time when few other voters are up or receptive to a campaign argument.

What she needs to show is that she has policy substance, away from skits, teleprompters, and prepared remarks. This does nothing for that.

You mean like at a debate? Where she wiped the floor with Trump? Or in one of the 400 sit down interviews she's given in the last month? If you want policy and substance she has offered that. This was a 3 minute comedy sketch.

Why did no one respond to Trumps lengthy stunts at McDonalds or with the garbage truck with "he need to show he has policy substance." Oh his Joe Rogan podcast? I mostly just learned about his desire to be a whale psychologist. And I'd rather watch a president give a pre-written speech off a teleprompter that actually makes sense and says something meaningful than watch one "riff" on how the people who set up his mic are stupid and then mime fellatio on the mic stand.

But yes, by all means, let's get mad at Harris for spending a few minutes making jokes with Maya Rudolph between campaing stops

Debate was prepared remarks, the product of days of preparation. Harris's weak spot in voters' minds is whether she has the substance to lead the US. This doesn't do anything for that. Her target audience now how should be winning over undecideds. This just plays to her base.

Turn out the base! This seems a lot more effective then having some billionaire pay for hauling out-of-staters around Michigan in a U haul cargo van to get a buck or two per door.

She has. compare her 82+ pages of detailed policy agenda to the blathering that her opponent does. If this is your concern than you are not a serious voter.

You can't just refer people to a website. Harris did that in bizarre fashion on the Fox interview. She needs to be able to verbalize and discuss her policies, herself, not just read from talking points. Right now, she is viewed as anti-Trump. That works for some but to get over the hump, she has to verbalize what she will do as President. Skipping Rogan was a big mistake.

Her campaign seems to be doing pretty well without your excellent advice. She won a poll in IOWA!

So you are good with Trump's prepared remarks about the lies related to immigrants eating their neighbors cats and dogs? Because those lies prompted school closures, bomb threats and random beatings. That seems kind of deplorable.

She has verbalized them in countless interviews. Remember, the democrats platform is generally favored by more than half the country. People like Hillary and Kerry and Tsongas and Dukakis came off as "wonky" because they would articulate in great detail, their agenda. Clearly, voters didn't go for that, instead opting for "style" - as Trump has demonstrated. Why is she being held to this standard in your eyes, but Donald isn't? He has been asked numerous times how, exactly, the deportation of millions of immigrants would work logistically and how it would be paid for with zero answer.

Ok I know you all loved the skit.

For me, the ageism and ableism portrayed made me sick. Making fun of someone who had trouble opening a heavy door that was out of his reach?

Sure I know Trump has said similar things to others, but I thought this election was about “turning the page”, “being better”.

Disappointed this turned out to be a mean girls gab session getting right down to the gutter level.

We see you.

Many people don’t watch a show that’s been a cultural barometer for the last half-century.

My teens watched last night for Chappel Roan.

The Hill

A Federal Communications Commission (FCC) commissioner has claimed that Vice President Harris’s recent appearance on “Saturday Night Live” violates the “equal time” rule.

“This is a clear and blatant effort to evade the FCC’s Equal Time rule,” Commissioner Brendan Carr posted on the social platform X Saturday in response to a post from The Associated Press about Harris being on the show that night.
