When asked about the presumably “super-spreader” Rose Garden event last week, during which many mask-less senior members of the Trump administration and conservative congressional officials were exposed to or contracted COVID-19, Pence dismissed the fact that many of our national leaders are incapable of following CDC guidelines to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Regardless of how difficult this task may have been, the vice president’s comments on COVID-19 only worsened the public’s view of the Trump administration. Pence’s task in this debate ― to normalize this past week of President Donald Trump’s presidency ― was a feat that many would consider impossible. Ultimately, his lack of charisma paved the way for Harris to win this debate.

However, Pence avoided many of the questions he was asked and was dismissive of Harris’ statements.

The first and only vice presidential debate of 2020 took place Wednesday night between current Vice President Mike Pence and Senator Kamala Harris, and was far more civil than the first presidential debate of this election season.
