Kamala Harris is making a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live tonight alongside host John Mulaney and musical guest Chappell Roan.
The vice president’s flight from Charlotte to Detroit was diverted to New York’s La Guardia Airport, with The New York Post reporting that Harris is set to appear in the cold open, which traditionally satirizes politics.
A shocking new poll out of Iowa, a state in which neither candidate has campaigned, has put the Democratic candidate three points ahead of Donald Trump — a 12-point swing against the Republican since the 2020 election.
The Des Moines Register observes that much of the shift to Harris from the former president comes from women and independents. Approximately 20 per cent of the voters in the Republican Iowa caucus backed Nikki Haley over Trump.
Earlier today, the former president said that “women have to be protected when they’re at home in suburbia” as he attempted to double down on his previous comment that he’d protect them “whether they like it or not.”
Some 70 million Americans have already voted early according to data gathered by CNN. Both candidates spent Saturday in North Carolina as the focus on key battlegrounds with just days left before the election.

Trump camp says ex-president ‘probably not’ invited to appear on SNL
With Kamala Harris to appear on Saturday Night Live in just over an hour, the Associated Press asked the Trump camp for its reaction.
Jason Miller, a senior adviser to former president and Republican nominee Donald Trump, expressed surprise that Harris would appear on SNL given what he characterized as her unflattering portrayal on the show. Asked if Trump had been invited to appear, he said: “I don’t know. Probably not.”
Donald Trump hosted the show in 2015 at the start of his political career.

Trump camp responds to new Iowa poll showing Harris in lead
Rattled by this evening’s poll showing Kamala Harris leading Donald Trump by three points in Iowa — a state not believed to even be in contention — the Trump campaign has put out a memo called the Des Moines Register poll, conducted by Selzer, an outlier.
The memo refers instead to a poll by Emerson released earlier today which shows Trump up by 10 points (53-43%) and, oddly, to the 2020 results as if nothing might have changed since then.
In the outlier Des Moines Register poll, they claim Harris leads with seniors (age 65+) by 19 points (55-36). In 2020, President Trump carried seniors 54-45 over Biden according to CNN exit polls.
The Emerson College poll released today concurs with the CNN exits from 2020, with President Trump solidly ahead 54-45 among voters aged 60-69, and 54-44 among voters aged 70+.
The Des Moines Register also claims Harris leads by 20 points among women (56-36). In 2020, President Trump tied Biden 49-49 among women according to CNN exits.
Once again, Emerson College’s poll today is more similar to the exits, showing instead a lead for President Trump of 5 points – 52-47.
Des Moines Register claims President Trump leads 51-39 among voters without a college degree. In 2020, President Trump won non-college voters by 17 points (58-41).
