After President Donald Trump met with former Vice President Joe Biden for the first Presidential Debate for the 2020 election, it was time for their running mates to square off on Wednesday.
Vice President Mike Pence lined up across from Sen. Kamala Harris in Utah for the only VP Debate of election season. The pair debated a bevy of topics that included the coronavirus pandemic, the Supreme Court, climate change and more.
During the 90 minute debate, a highlight moment occurred when a fly landed on the head of Pence. According to Ian Cull of NBC Bay Area, the fly stuck around on Pence’s head for two minutes, three seconds.
