Julia Louis-Dreyfus opened a panel featuring eight women Democratic governors Wednesday with a few quips about Donald Trump and JD Vance, while saying she was among those filled with “new hope and joy” over the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz ticket.
The event in downtown Chicago was for the Democratic Governors Association and the DGA’s Women Governors Fund and came at the event on the sidelines of the Democratic National Convention.
“This is so cool,” Louis-Dreyfus said at the outset. “We are very honored to have eight highly intelligent, highly capable women leaders for the 21st century with us — or what JD Vance might call a coven of semi menstruating witches.”
The panel included Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Maine Gov. Janet Mills, Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs, Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healy and Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly.
Louis-Dreyfus called the Harris-Walz campaign “contagious.”
“I personally feel like I’ve been smiling for a month, my face actually hurts. And was anybody else weeping last night for two hours watching the [Second] Gentleman and the Obamas speak? Laughing, crying — I’m f*cking exhausted.”

She added, “We are filled with new hope and joy. And I think all of you women on the stage are evidence that Martin Luther King was right when he reminded us that the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Sometimes we forget that when Trump is trying to bend it back the other way, but you know.”
Louis-Dreyfus opened with a bit of a curveball as a question: What is your state flower?
More to come.
