With three days left until the U.S. presidential election, Kamala Harris intensified her campaign efforts in key swing states and made her first surprise appearance on the iconic late-night show "Saturday Night Live" on November 2. She joined the actress portraying her on the show for a humorous exchange while also taking jabs at Republican candidate Donald Trump.

This marked Harris's first in-person appearance on the long-running American variety show, where she played the mirror image of Maya Rudolph’s Harris character. The two had fun with wordplay and encouraged voters to stay calm and press forward. Over the years, "Saturday Night Live" has hosted other presidential candidates, including Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Donald Trump, though an appearance so close to election day is unusual.

Earlier on November 2, Harris and Trump crossed paths in the critical swing state of North Carolina, where Harris held a rally in Charlotte, the state’s largest city, and Trump campaigned nearby in Gastonia. Both Harris's Air Force Two and Trump’s private jet could be seen on the Charlotte airport tarmac.

This marked the fourth consecutive day both candidates campaigned in the same state. Only seven states, including North Carolina, are considered crucial in determining the election outcome, with the other key states being Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, and Wisconsin.
