Who will play the 2020 presidential candidates on SNL this season? We have some ideas
Elizabeth Warren and Kate McKinnon. Photo: Getty Images The Democratic Party’s nominating process for its 2020 candidate is shaping up to be a lollapalooza or a shitshow, depending on your faith in overcrowded acts of political theater. The sheer volume of candidates who have announced their bids, launched exploratory committees, or vaguely mentioned to some friends at a party that it might be fun to ride around in a motorcade and pardon turkeys is immense.
Joe Biden Photo: Getty Images Cast: Better luck next time, fellas. There’s no way it won’t stay Jason Sudeikis, short of Olivia Wilde forbidding him. Beto O’Rourke Photo: Getty Images Cast: With Beto O’Rourke a decent possibility and one of the more interesting characters in the lineup, surely Alex Moffat is somewhere now practicing his O’Rourke in the mirror.
Amy Klobuchar Photo: Getty Images Cast: When looking directly at current cast members, the best pick for this outwardly pleasant, midwestern centrist would be Aidy Bryant. Surely with Bryant’s endearing smile and sweet, ingratiating demeanor, she’s already halfway there.
Tulsi Gabbard Photo: Getty Images Cast: The congresswoman and Army vet from Hawaii is not the most animated of the candidates, but she has grabbed her fair share of headlines. A Samoan-American Hindu often pegged as an Assad sympathizer, Gabbard maintains a pretty unflappable and stoic exterior, regardless of circumstance. Presuming that SNL finds some time for her onstage, her steady monotone might be replicated by either Cecily Strong or Melissa Villaseñor.
John Delaney Photo: Getty Images Cast: For this Maryland representative who looks like a goofy uncle about to whip out his best Elmer Fudd routine, SNL will need someone who can go a little cartoonish. Of the current cast, Mikey Day is that guy. Slap a balding wig on him and let him go. Julián Castro Photo: Getty Images Cast: As the only Latinx cast member, it’s nearly an obligation to put Melissa Villaseñor in drag to play this former San Antonio mayor and Obama’s Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. It just so happens that this is also an excellent idea. Villaseñor is an incredibly versatile and canny impressionist who will no doubt find the straight-faced Castro’s hook.
Michael Bennet Photo: Getty Images Cast: Much like casting Bowen Yang as Andrew Yang, we defer to name-math here, which makes Beck Bennett the obvious choice for his last name-sake. Not to mention, Bennett excels at playing confident suits. Joe Sestak Photo: Getty Images Cast: Kyle Mooney is eerily good at playing reedy afterthoughts, so Sestak will be right in his wheelhouse. The Dropouts A few of our predictions have already been knocked out of the running by dropping out of the race. As the campaign season narrows down, we’ll move the leftovers here just in case SNL decides there’s a reason for a, uh, Jay Inslee appearance.
