On Wednesday evening, October 7th, USA Today’s Susan Page served as the moderator for the first and only 2020 Vice Presidential Debate. To say the least, it was more organized and less chaotic than the Presidential Debate on Sept. 29th. According to USAFacts, the debate covered many different topics from the coronavirus pandemic and how that impacted the jobs and the economy. But the most important and possibly the most heated topic was the 2020 election and how voters should view each candidate and what those candidates stand for. Each candidate had the opportunity to show undecided voters their views on many different topics.
Aside from the topics that were discussed, the way it was handled was better than the Presidential Debate that occurred last week. The main reason it was more civilized is because each of the candidates showed more respect to the other candidate, at least until Vice President Pence interrupted Sen. Kamala Harris. When this occurred, many women spoke out on social media saying it was just like what they had been struggling with for years, not getting their turn and being interrupted by a man.
So, this brings many questions to the table. Should voters base their decision on the type of leadership that these two have shown? Do you think this debate was more civilized than the previous Presidential debate? Do you think it was wrong for Vice President Pence to interrupt Sen. Harris while she was giving her statement? Should Americans be concerned about the leadership of Sen. Harris and Vice President Pence if something were to happen to the presidential candidates?
I think it was wrong for someone to plant a fly on Mike Pence's hair.

I agree with you Jameson that this debate was more civil compared to the presidential debate. This is because they have a mutual amount of respect for each other, that Trump and Biden don't have. Also, personally I do agree that Pence shouldn't have interrupted Kamala, but both were not answering questions. I think that the little dignity we gained still gave little hope since both candidates don't seem like good choices to help run our country when it is needed. Also, it is sad that it has come to the nation praising a fly over our actual nominees.
