The Vice Presidential Debate

Mira Clayborn, Layout Editor

The Vice Presidential debate happened on Wednesday October 7th. The topics discussed during the debate were Coronavirus, Trump, Biden, the economy, the Supreme Court, climate change, health care, crime, China, abortion, as well as others. The debate was civil and conventional. The moderator was Susan Page. After the debate was over it was concluded that their speaking time was almost equal. Both candidates doged questions and avoided certain topics throughout the debate. For nearly two minutes of the debate a fly had landed on Mike Pence’s head and settled in. He seemed unaware of the fact that the fly had landed on his head. This created quite a buzz throughout the internet. Overall the debate was very useful and we now know the vice president candidates much better.
