Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley made a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live this weekend, as the sketch comedy show continued its election-season tradition of bringing in political candidates to play themselves. During a skit billed as a CNN Town Hall, Haley made digs at former President Donald Trump and took a question about comments she made about the Civil War from SNL’s host, Ayo Edebiri.
If you’d like more context on this matter, please consider Peter Loge, director of the School of Media and Public Affairs at the George Washington University. Loge has nearly 30 years of experience in politics and communications, including a presidential appointment at the Food and Drug Administration and senior positions for Sen. Edward Kennedy and three members of the U.S. House of Representatives. He currently leads the Project on Ethics in Political Communication at the School of Media and Public Affairs and continues to advise advocates and organizations. Loge’s expertise includes communications and political strategy.
Loge can discuss the intersection of politics and pop culture and the latest developments out of the GOP presidential primary race. Loge says Haley is increasingly looking like a '28 candidate.
