Kamala Harris took to the SNL stage in a desperate attempt to showcase her comedic chops and personality, but it all fell flat and did little to elevate her political brand. Instead of engaging in a real conversation or tackling the pressing issues of the day, she participated in a skit that bore more resemblance to political propaganda than actual entertainment. Opting out of challenging interviews, especially those that might expose her shortcomings, Harris seems more concerned with avoiding tough questions than presenting herself as a capable leader.
The skit featured Harris and Maya Rudolph in a reflection of sorts, only to reveal that neither can really conjure authenticity. While attempting to lighten the mood, the duo aimed for humor with quips about holiday cheer and family, failing miserably to realize that the nation is grappling with issues far graver than festive catchphrases. Moments like Harris declaring her unsolicited advice about “opening doors” ignore the significant havoc wrought under her and Biden’s administration, most notably rising inflation and border crises reminiscent of a sitcom plot gone horribly wrong.
The humor that could have salvaged the show was overshadowed by forced laughs and a barrage of cringe-worthy commentary. SNL, which prides itself on satire, missed the mark entirely. Rather than addressing the drama that seems to follow the Democratic party, Harris willingly partook in an exercise that diluted her already tenuous grasp on authenticity and seriousness. She isn’t just trying to be a friend to the American people; she’s aiming to be your “step-momala,” an increasingly bizarre role that seeks to govern with a disingenuous approach rather than a firm grip on reality.

Adding insult to injury, this skit seemed like a tired rerun of Trump’s previous SNL appearance, where he succeeded in delivering genuine laughs while showcasing his self-awareness. Harris can’t even boast original material; instead, she relies on a reflection of failed bits already portrayed by Hillary Clinton. Viewers pointed out the shameless imitation—word for word—from a gag Clinton executed a decade and a half ago. This raises eyebrows about the creativity of the SNL writing team and suggests a deeper issue: the Democrats benefit more from recycling jokes than developing original platforms that resonate with the electorate.
Perhaps the most troubling takeaway from the skit is the stark contrast between Harris’s gimmicky humor and the substantive leadership that many conservative voters desire. The mounting evidence of her duplicative behavior—whether adopting Trump’s no-tax policy or engaging in celebrity endorsements reminiscent of past Democrats—only serves to highlight how muddled her own identity is in a sea of political theater.
In a landscape where the stakes are higher than ever, voters are left scratching their heads about why they should even consider “Copycat Kamala.” Unlike Trump, who presents tested and real policies, Harris is left clinging to an image that is as vacuous as it is repetitious. History has shown that following in the footsteps of the unsuccessful, like Clinton’s prior collapse, may lead to one inevitable conclusion for Harris: another loss, even with all the borrowed ideas in the world.
