The candidates for vice president of the United States debated this Wednesday (7) in a more cordial tone than that seen in the meeting between the presidential candidates the previous week. However, both Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Mike Pence, who is trying for reelection, made their mark with catchphrases and swapping indictments.
See highlights from the first debate between Kamala Harris and Mike Pence
See some of the phrases below:
“The American people have witnessed the greatest failure of a presidential government in the history of our country. […] Honestly, this government has lost the right to reelection.“- Kamala Harris on the performance of the Donald Trump administration in the fight against the coronavirus, which has killed more than 210,000 people in the country.
“Before there were more than five cases in the United States, […] President Donald Trump has suspended all travel from China, the world’s second-largest economy. Senator Joe Biden opposed that decision, calling it xenophobic and hysterical, “Mike Pence responded.
“Many of those who participated were tested for the coronavirus, and it was an outdoor event, as our scientists routinely advised“- Mike Pence on the appointment of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court at the White House, who may have helped spread the coronavirus among government officials.
“If the doctor [Anthony] Fauci says that if the doctors say we should take it, I’m sure I’ll be first in line. If Donald Trump tells me to take it, I won’t ”- Kamala Harris, after being asked about a possible Covid-19 vaccine that the White House wanted to speed up even before the election.
“It would be great to know who the president of the United States owes money to, the commander in chief. Because the American people have a right to know what is influencing the president’s decisions. Are you making these decisions in the best interest of the American people or in your own interest? – Kamala Harris on Donald Trump’s tax non-payment report revealed by the New York Times.
“The American people have president who is an entrepreneur and job creator. And he paid tens of millions of dollars in taxes “: Mike Pence’s response to Trump’s tax controversy.
“The vice president spoke about the trade war with China, which he thinks is an achievement. You lost the trade war” – Kamala Harris, arguing that the United States has lost jobs.
“Did we lose the trade war with China? Joe Biden has never fought in it. Joe Biden has been an entertainer in communist China for the past decades” – response from Mike Pence, who said job losses occurred under the Democratic government Barack Obama .
“The climate is changing. The question is, what is the cause and what do we do with it? President Trump made it clear that we will continue to listen to the science“- Mike Pence on climate change.
“This government has removed the word science and the term ‘climate change’ from its websites. We have seen a pattern in this government: they don’t believe in science“- Kamala Harris answer.
Nomination to the Supreme Court
“Our hope is that next week, he will have a fair hearing, different from the judge. [Brett] Kavanaugh was treated by you and others ”- Mike Pence, on Saturday to Justice Amy Coney Barrett, appointed to the Supreme Court. He mentioned the tough position Kamala Harris gave to the other Trump-appointed judge.
“Let the American people decide who will occupy the White House and then we will decide who will occupy that seat on the Supreme Court” – Kamala Harris, defending the postponement of the appointment of the next judge.
“I will always fight for the right of women to decide about their own bodies. It should be their decision, not that of Donald Trump and the vice president ”- Kamala Harris on legalizing abortion, which can be overturned by the conservative majority in the Supreme Court.
“I am pro-life, and I do not apologize for that,” Mike Pence responded on the abortion issue.
Racism and police violence
“Bad cops are bad for good cops. We need a reform in our police control and in our criminal justice system “- Kamala Harris.
“There is no excuse for what happened to George Floyd, and justice will be served. But there is also no excuse for the confusion and vandalism that followed.Mike Pence replied.
