Live
from
New
York,
it’s
the
cast
of
the
2024
election.
When
Saturday
Night
Live
returned
Sept.
28
for
its
50th
season,
the
show
kicked
off
with
a
political
Cold
Open
sketch
spoofing
the
race
to
the
White
House,
a
long-awaited
big
reveal
to
see
who
would
be
joining
James
Austin
Johnson
as
former
President
Donald
Trump
and
Maya
Rudolph
as
Vice
President
Kamala
Harris
on
the
30
Rock-set
campaign
trail.
While
Rudolph
originated
the
role
of
Harris
in
2019,
by
her
side
for
the
first
time
was
Jim
Gaffigan
playing
the
Democratic
candidate’s
running
mate,
Minnesota
Gov.
Tim
Walz.
“What
can
I
say?
I
got
that
BDE—big
dad
energy,”
he
said
in
character. “See
what
I
did
there?
You
get
it?”
Rudolph’s
Harris
joked, “I
got
it.
I
didn’t
want
it,
but
I
got
it.”
Meanwhile,
SNL
alum
Andy
Samberg
came
home
to
play the
vice
president’s
husband,
Doug
Emhoff.
