Julia Louis-Dreyfus Discusses Veep Resurgence

Julia Louis-Dreyfus's HBO series 'Veep' has seen a remarkable 350% increase in viewership following Kamala Harris's presidential candidacy announcement. During her appearance on 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert', Louis-Dreyfus emphasized the differences between her fictional character Selina Meyer and Harris, while humorously suggesting that JD Vance resembles the show's Jonah Ryan. Louis-Dreyfus also shared a nostalgic moment from 2013, when Hillary Clinton sent her a signed note, which she humorously recounted with Colbert. The Democratic National Convention has provided a backdrop for discussions about women's roles in politics, as demonstrated by Louis-Dreyfus’s interactions with Clinton. Critics have pointed out the Democratic Party's missteps, notably sidelining President Biden in favor of Clinton, reflecting a disconnect with the party's base. Overall, the revival of 'Veep' highlights ongoing discussions around gender and leadership in the current political landscape.
