The final season of Veep follows fictional former US Vice-President and President Selina Meyer’s quest for re-election. Airing in 2019, it was the only season written and filmed during the Trump presidency. As the showrunners state, the aim of the show is to explore a political sensibility, rather than drawing explicit direct comparisons between Meyer and Trump. Selina Meyer stands in stark contrast to many of the other (post)feminist heroines of quality television, who often make their mark through being very competent at their jobs and invite comparison to former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. In many ways, Selina Meyer is the anti-Hillary Clinton. Meyer’s mismanagement of her workplace is fundamental to the construction of her as incompetent and is in stark contrast to the image she tries to convey to prospective voters. In television and media and political life more broadly, women have been constructed as saviours of democracies in crisis. Veep does not offer the same illusion of empowerment that other quality television shows offer. Veep’s gender and workplace politics can thus be understood as a critique of the narrative of the White woman saviour and demonstrate the limitations of White mainstream liberal feminism in the age of populism.
