When: SUNDAY, October 9th at 7 p.m.
Why: According to the website, “to defeat Republicans like Ron Johnson this November.”
“We have joined forces with The West Wing because winning Wisconsin this November is crucial to saving American democracy. And also because when MAGA Republicans are beaten and democracy thrives and flourishes, VEEP seems much funnier and less sad.”
~Julia Louis-Dreyfus, VEEP
“The Bartlet administration represented everything that politics should be. The Meyer administration represented everything that it shouldn’t. The West Wing also had, especially among supporting characters, a far more physically attractive cast. Despite these differences, we are teaming up to support Democratic candidates up and down the ballot in my home state of Wisconsin.”
~Bradley Whitford, The West Wing
