“Veep” actor Julia Louis-Dreyfus said on Friday's show that her role on the hit HBO show is “not Kamala Harris' type.” Appeared on MSNBC Instead, he compared the hypothetical vice president to former President Trump.
“You could say I'm playing a very narcissistic, sociopathic, very maniac type of person. I'm not a Kamala Harris type of person,” Louis-Dreyfus said. She spoke to anchor Ari Melber about her role as Selina Meyer. “Maybe I'm more like someone whose name I won't even speak.”
The favorable mention of Harris and Trump's criticism came just days before Louis-Dreyfus attended a “Veep” reunion to raise money for the Wisconsin Democratic Party, where Harris leads Trump by 2 points. The performers will read episodes from the HBO television show, and Stephen Colbert will emcee the event.
Louis-Dreyfus also hosted a panel discussion at last month's Democratic National Convention, which was also attended by eight Democratic female governors, including Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (Michigan) and Gov. Katie Hobbs (Arizona).
“I played a character who was a woman but hated being a woman and didn't want to define herself as a woman because she didn't think it was an advantage,” Lewis said. Dreyfuss told Melber on Friday night. She didn't want to draw attention to that fact. So, in other words, we just turned it over and put it back together. ”
“But I think the more women we have in government, the better our government can be led,” the 11-time Emmy Award-winning actor added.
Over the past four years, the cast of “Veep” has reunited several times for Democratic initiatives, including 2022 midterm election benefits and a virtual event to support President Biden's 2020 campaign .
