Twitter is abuzz: it flies over Mike Pence’s head during the US vice-presidential debate

There seems to be a fly on the wall in the US Vice President debate and it has taken a liking to Vice President Mike Pence.

As Republican Pence and Democratic Senator Kamala Harris discussed issues of debate, a fly pounced on Pence’s head.

The fly settled on the vice president’s head for a few minutes.

Twitter reacted quickly and the fly became an internet sensation, even with its own Twitter account.

Which is now over 2.4k followers and is now verified on Twitter.

Democratic presidential contender Joe Biden took to Twitter to comment on the show’s star.

During the debate, the candidates were separated by Plexiglas barriers in an auditorium where any guests who refused to wear a mask would be removed, an extraordinary backdrop for the only vice-presidential debate of 2020.

The debate took place at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City.

Harris, 55, is the daughter of a Jamaican father and an Indian mother. She is also a former prosecutor whose sharp questioning of US President Donald Trump appointees and court nominees helped her become a Democratic star.

Pence is a 61-year-old former Indiana governor and radio host, an evangelical Christian known for his country charm and unwavering loyalty to Trump. And while he’s Trump’s biggest public defender, the vice president doesn’t share the president’s brash tone or undisciplined style.
