There's always a Wisconsin connection — even when Vice President Kamala Harris makes a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live.

Harris, who left Milwaukee Saturday morning after staying overnight here following her campaign rally and concert in West Allis, appeared on SNL's “Cold Open” with Maya Rudolph, who regularly plays Harris on the show.

The cold opening included references to recent rallies held in Wisconsin by her opponent, former Republican President Donald Trump.

In one scene, James Austin Johnson, who plays Trump, wore an orange high-visibility vest like the one Trump wore at his rally near Green Bay on Wednesday. Trump wore the vest to draw attention to comments from President Joe Biden in which he appeared to call Trump supporters “trash” after a comedian at a Trump rally disparaged Puerto Rico as a “floating island of trash.”

The actor repeated Trump's comment about protecting women “whether women like it or not,” drawing sharp criticism from Harris and others, before struggling with a broken microphone like the one Trump used on Friday night during his rally at the Fiserv Forum upset in Milwaukee.

Harris then appeared as a mirror image of Rudolph to give advice.

“I’m just here to remind you that you get this,” Harris said. “Because you can do something your opponent can’t. You can open doors.”

“I understand what you did there. Like a garbage truck, right?” Rudolph said before breaking into a Harris-inspired laugh.

That was a reference to Trump having difficulty opening the door of a MAGA garbage truck he was driving in the Green Bay area before his rally.
