Vice President Mike Pence and challenger Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) sparred over a series of topics at the 2020 vice presidential debate, which was largely calm and policy-focused.
In the first and only debate between the two candidates contending for the vice presidency in the Nov. 3 election, the candidates largely sidestepped direct questions as they returned to their main policy points related to the broader topic at hand. Standout issues during the Oct. 7 debate included COVID-19, the Supreme Court nomination, the economy, and China.
