'Can't wait to be King'

The clip, featuring Lilly Singh as Kamala Harris, incumbent Donald Trump, and President-elect Joe Biden, shows the California Senator celebrating her victory with a rap song. Lilly's version of Kamala savagely answers all 'misogynist' and 'racist' questions thrown at her by Lilly's version of Donald Trump. The video starts with the Republican leader saying, "With an attitude like that I’m afraid you’ll make a pretty pathetic VP," to which Kamala replies, "Well, I’m not gonna let anybody tell me what to do, what to say or even who to fight for. There will never be a president like me."
