Saturday Night Live opens with Joe Biden’s (Mikey Day) press conference following his meeting with Xi Jinping. The US president brags about the “total win” of a meeting, in which he secured “more pandas” for America, only to immediately undo his accomplishment by calling the Chinese president a dictator.
After dodging a question about the border, he brings out one of those aforementioned pandas (Bowen Yang) to distract the fickle press. The panda is frightened about a potential second Trump term that could lead to a civil war, but not enough to endorse Biden in the election.
