Veep‘s notoriously bumbling politician Selina Meyer has gone on to greener pastures, but the actor who played her for seven unforgettable seasons is reviving her, sort of, in support of another famous Veep, Joe Biden. 

Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who won six Emmys for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy for her portrayal of the perpetually behind-the-eight-ball politico, announced on Twitter Saturday that she’ll be headlining a virtual Veep reunion in support of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin. Wisconsin, she explained in a short video, is a crucial battleground state for the presidential candidate to win the presidential election, so the cast is reuniting to raise funds in order to assist the local party. Previously, the stars of The Princess Bridereunited to support the same organization and raised $4.25 million with their live-reading of the classic film’s script.
