Saturday Night Live took on the Democratic presidential primary in the show's latest cold open.

In a spoof of Friday's primary debate in New Hampshire, Saturday's episode saw Pete Davidson's Tom Steyer, Rachel Dratch's Amy Klobuchar, Larry David's Bernie Sanders, Jason Sudeikis' Joe Biden, Kate McKinnon's Elizabeth Warren, Colin Jost's Pete Buttigieg, and Bowen Yang's Andrew Yang take the stage, where high jinks ensued.

Dratch's Klobuchar couldn't figure out why she isn't winning the election, Sudeikis' Biden couldn't remember what South Carolina was called, David's Sanders advocated for an app-free primary, and Davidson's Steyer was just happy to be there and make friends. Meanwhile, billionaire and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg (played by Fred Armisen) loomed over all of it with his sponsorship of the debate. Watch the sketch below.
