 Saturday Night Live issued a warning to Joe Biden ahead of the 2020 US election.

As Jim Carrey graced the stage as the Democratic presidential candidate to deliver a "holiday message", Hillary Clinton – the 2016 Democratic nominee, here played by Kate McKinnon – interrupted. "

We lost before," she told Carrey's Biden, who refused to believe the Democrats can lose again. 

"We’ve got this one in the bag," he said, adding: “It’s what every pundit says from shore to shore.” 

McKinnon's Clinton responded: “Not Michael Moore." 

Moore is the documentary filmmaker and outspoken critic of Donald Trump who was adamant he would win in 2016 – and believes he has a fighting chance this year, too. 

Nate Silver, the fiveThirtyEight statistician, whose prediction model incorrectly stated Clinton would win the election in 2016, was lampooned. 

Played by Mikey Day, he told Biden that Trump's chances of winning were less than one in six – and had a die to prove it. 

After rolling it, though, it repeatedly landed on Trump.

Wrapping up the skit was Carrey's Biden and his running mate Kamala Harris (played by Maya Rudolph) urging the country to vote. 

“Democracy will represent,” Rudolph's Harris told viewers.
