“Veep” star Julia Louis-Dreyfus is getting a shout-out from the real-life vice president, Joe Biden.
Biden tweeted congratulations to the actress on Tuesday, a day after she took home her third consecutive Emmy award for her role as the sometimes-blundering Vice President Selina Meyer on the HBO satire.
Reality and fantasy have collided before for the real and fake VPs. In his tweet, Biden included a still image from a video he filmed with Louis-Dreyfus for May’s White House Correspondents’ Association dinner.
The pair also shared a lunch at the White House last year.

I couldn’t make a decision about what to eat.”
