What Went Down During The Vice Presidential Debate

It’s honestly such a shock to see both candidates playing by the rules. My brain can’t quite process this. Why is no one yelling?

Pence begins his pandemic answer by talking about China. Trump obviously has called COVID-19 “The China virus” which is pretty obviously racist. But blaming China for the spread of the disease has become a pretty common fall-back line for the Trump campaign. As Nate points out, pretty awkward when there’s a huge cluster of cases at the place where he works.

If the candidates are in fact going to play by the rules and not interrupt each other, they are going to have to rely a lot on facial expressions to say the things they’d like to say while their opponent is talking. So far, Harris is saying plenty with no words at all.
