In a throwback, cameo-free cold open, Saturday Night Live's Kate McKinnon portrayed an energetic Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who was hosting a town hall in Iowa, to begin Saturday evening's episode.
McKinnon's Warren started off the sketch by mocking former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-Texas), who recently dropped out of the race, as well as President Trump for moving his residency from New York to Florida, offering congratulations to the commander-in-chief for "paying less taxes" because of it.
