The United States is in the midst of a contentious campaign season, but a vice presidential debate provided moments of calm and camaraderie between nominees Sen. JD Vance and Gov. Tim Walz. The “SNL” recreation of the debate featured Heidi Gardner as Norah O’Donnell introducing the running mates, played by Jim Gaffigan and Bowen Yang. The candidates, despite their differences, found common ground and even started to bond during the debate. They addressed important issues with humor and wit, leading to a bromance-like peace between them. Vice President Kamala Harris, played by Maya Rudolph, watched in disbelief as the debate unfolded, with her husband and President Joe Biden also joining in. Despite the lighthearted moments, the candidates made serious points about politics, with Walz even scoring a last-minute “touchdown” by challenging Vance to admit that Donald Trump lost the election. The skit included musical guest Coldplay and host Nate Bargatze, providing entertainment while also highlighting the absurdity of politics. Overall, the vice presidential debate portrayed on “SNL” showcased how even in divisive times, there can be moments of unity and humor.
