Kamala Harris faces criticism for SNL appearance ahead of US Election Day
Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris made an unexpected guest appearance on Saturday Night Live (SNL)on November 2, joining comedian Maya Rudolph, who is famous for her impersonation of the vice president.
However, Harris's appearance has drawn significant backlash, with some viewers accusing her of copying a 2015 skit by Donald Trump. During that skit, Trump appeared on Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show, where he engaged in a humorous exchange with actor Gary Busey, who portrayed him in a similar setting. Viewers have pointed out the resemblance between the two performances, raising questions about Harris's originality.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) commissioner has alleged that Harris’s SNL appearance may violate the “equal time” rule, further intensifying the criticism she faces.

On social media, reactions were harsh, one user wrote, “Kamala on SNL can’t even be ORIGINAL… had to plagiarize Trump and his much funnier skit. She’s soooo CRINGE."
A second user wrote, "Even her SNL skit was plagiarized"
Another wrote, “For those who think Kamala killed it on SNL, turns out she just copied what Trump did back in 2015. How much more cringe can this woman get?” A user remarked, “Kamala's SNL appearance tonight was a direct copy of Trump in 2015. Just so you all know, there's nothing original about her. A fake candidate that lies and deceives at every chance.”
This controversy highlights the challenges Harris faces as she campaigns for presidency, as her appearance has ignited discussions about authenticity and originality in her performance.
