As Vice President Kamala Harris emerges as the presumptive 2024 Democratic presidential nominee, comparisons to Selina Meyer, the fictional vice president from HBO's 'Veep', have sparked controversy. David Mandel, the show's executive producer, criticized those who use these comparisons to diminish Harris, stating that while some fans celebrate her achievements, others make disparaging memes. Mandel argued that Donald Trump more closely embodies Meyer’s character traits, such as vanity and vindictiveness, rather than Harris. With Biden's announcement not to seek reelection, attention is now on Harris's potential vice presidential picks including Governors Roy Cooper and Josh Shapiro. The ongoing popularity of 'Veep' has surged amid this political landscape, with a 353 percent increase in viewership since July. Mandel expressed concern over the divisive political climate but remains optimistic about the momentum surrounding Harris's candidacy.
