Vice President Mike Pence and vice-presidential nominee Kamala Harris squared up in the only debate between the two in Utah, with Harris attempting to take aim at the Trump administration’s pandemic response.

The showdown between the two came amid questions about the health of President Donald Trump, who was diagnosed with the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus last week, and Democratic nominee Joe Biden, who is nearly 78 years old and whose age has been the subject of much scrutiny. Should either Trump or Biden be incapacitated in some way, Pence and Harris could become president.
