‘SNL’ Cold Open: Trump’s Midterms Pitch Dooms Desperate GOP
"Don't we have anyone who can connect with voters and who isn't a liability?" one GOP operative asks
During the opening act of "Saturday Night Live" tonight, Republican figures Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, and Donald Trump, all portrayed by "SNL" cast members, pleaded with the voters to lend their support for the GOP during the upcoming midterm elections. Ashley Padilla and Andrew Dismukes, two Republican party members, initiated the segment by having Rubio urge voters to back the party, only to reveal that he had been led astray by Trump himself.
In a language that caught many off guard, Rubio explicitly stated that Trump had "tricked" him. Furthermore, the segment featured Mitch McConnell, portrayed by Mikey Day, but his presence did little to aid the Republican cause.
