Tim Kaine and Anne Holton campaigned in North Carolina and Virginia on the final day of the campaign. Kaine and Holten began the day in North Carolina where they spoke at events in Charlotte and Wilmington. Kaine spoke about the importance of the election and the high stakes for the future of the country. He urged North Carolinians to get out and vote tomorrow because they are a key battleground state in this election. “Everybody’s watching you, North Carolina. If Hillary wins in North Carolina, take it to the bank, she’s president of the United States,” he said. Kaine urged everyone to consider the future and vote tomorrow. A video from the Charlotte event is below.

Kaine and Holton returned to Virginia where they held an event on the campus of George Mason University in Fairfax. They were joined by Vice President Joe Biden and Dr. Jill Biden. The vice president spoke briefly introducing Kaine. When Kaine took the stage, he spoke about being back in Virginia and what is at stake in this election. He urged everyone to get out and vote tomorrow saying that he was proud of Virginia. “I like the energy I’m seeing in Virginia,” he said. A video from the event will be posted when/if available.

Kaine and Holton held their final event of the campaign in their hometown of Richmond. Kaine said that it was nice to be back in Virginia before asking everyone to get out and vote on Tuesday. Like Clinton, he spoke about the far reaching affects this election will have on the country’s future and urged everyone to consider the different visions of America presented by Trump and Clinton. He concluded by urging everyone to vote who has not already done so. A video from the event is below.

On last night’s season premiere of Saturday Night Live, Hillary Rodham Clinton made a guest appearance playing “Val” the bartender. Typically politicians play themselves on SNL, so it was interesting seeing Clinton out of character. However, there was a “Hillary Clinton” in the sketch, played by SNL cast member Kate McKinnon. “Val” councils a troubled “Clinton” and the two discuss “Clinton’s” rough 22 years and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, which results in “Val” giving her best Trump impression. The two ended the sketch by singing “Lean on Me.” Following a commercial break, Clinton stuck around to introduce host and musical guest Miley Cyrus. A video of the sketch is below.

On Friday, Clinton was asked by an Entertainment Tonight reporter how she felt about appearing on SNL, a show that has impersonated her a number of times throughout her career. She said, “They come at it from a slightly different perspective, and I learn something about myself watching them pretending to be me, so I’m looking forward to spending the time with Kate. I mean, I’m just thrilled that he’s got these amazing women doing these impersonations. I want to see how it goes.” This is not Clinton’s first appearance on the show as she also appeared on SNL during her 2008 campaign. The clip below is from the Entertainment Tonight interview.
