“<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hold-veep-showrunner-reacts-to-recent-bump-in-viewership-after-kamala-harris-becomes-presumptive-nominee">Veep</a>” 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 &#8212; who played fictional character Vice President Selina Meyer on the popular HBO political satire &#8212; will be joined by the Democratic Governors Association, the actress confirmed to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/13/entertainment/veep-julia-louis-dreyfus-host-panel-female-governors-dnc/index.html?Date=20240813&amp;Profile=CNN&amp;utm_content=1723587699&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=instagram">CNN</a>.
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 <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politics-news/julia-louis-dreyfus-democratic-women-governors-dnc-1235973012/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> 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.&#8221;

“<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/veep-viewership-increases-350-after-harris-enters-presidential-race">Veep</a>” showrunner Dave Mandel recently reacted to the increased viewership of the HBO political series after clips went viral following President Joe Biden’s announcement that he was out of the race and his endorsement of Vice President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kamala-harris">Kamala Harris</a> for president.
Speaking to THR, <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/veep-going-viral-kamala-harris-david-mandel-interview-1235955895/">Mandel</a> — 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 can’t 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 <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/veep-viewership-increases-350-after-harris-enters-presidential-race">reported</a>. 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.
