Veep star Julia Louis-Dreyfus will host a panel with female Democratic
governors from across the country at the Democratic National Convention next
week in Chicago.
The 63-year-old Hollywood actress who played fictional character Vice
President Selina Meyer on the popular HBO political satire will be joined
by the Democratic Governors Association, the actress confirmed to CNN.
The panel will take place on Wednesday August 21 where the Seinfeld actress
and vocal Democratic supporter will moderate the event with eight Democratic
women governors. The list includes such governors as Michigan Gov. Gretchen
Whitmer, New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul,
and Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs, among others.
Dreyfus told The Hollywood Reporter that throughout their time in office,
Democratic women governors have made history, changed the conversation
surrounding women in executive roles, and gotten big things done for the good
people of their states.
DGA Women Governors Fund chair Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey told THR,
Julia Louis-Dreyfus brings the same passion and intensity that drives her
successful career on-screen to her projects off of it, including her decades
of work as an advocate and activist fighting to protect abortion rights,
voting rights and democracy and fighting to combat climate change.

Veep showrunner Dave Mandel recently reacted to the increased viewership of
the HBO political series after clips went viral following President Joe
Bidens announcement that he was out of the race and his endorsement of Vice
President Kamala Harris for president.
Speaking to THR, Mandel who took over as showrunner in Season 5 of Veep
said he was thrilled to see the clips of the Emmy-winning series circulating.
Today, there may be more people checking out Veep, and I cant think of
anything better, Mandel said. I hope they are enjoying. The crazier
politics gets, the more Veep holds up!
The show which wrapped up after seven seasons in 2019 has seen renewed
interest with viewership increased by 353% on July 24 compared to the
previous day, as previously reported. It happened 24 hours after Biden said
he would no longer seek reelection.
In the show, which ran from 2012 until 2019, the president resigns, leaving
Meyer to ascend the office herself and later launch her own campaign.
