For 90 minutes, US politics had been transported back to 2012 telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/10/0…

During last night's #VPDebate both candidates gave a strong performance, sticking to clearly defined topics and avoiding personal blows

A total of six in ten said Kamala Harris claimed victory over Mike Pence, according to a @CNN snap poll.

In contrast, a @drudgefeed flash poll shows the Vice President as the winner, leading with 69% of the public’s support

By @CBSNews' count, Mr Pence interrupted Ms Harris 10 times. Ms Harris meanwhile interrupted Mr Pence half of this total

"Mr Vice-President, I'm speaking. If you don't mind letting me finish, then we can have a conversation" - Kamala Harris

The @nytimes reported, "women of all political persuasions can relate to being spoken over and dismissed"

As a woman, have you been interrupted or spoken over by a man? 🔊

Ms Harris opened the debate with a swift attack:

“The American people have witnessed what is the greatest failure of any presidential administration in the history of our country”

A fly landed on Mr Pence’s head and took up residence for a total of two minutes and nine seconds, according to @nypost 🦟

Mr Pence is expected to take his shot at the top job in 2024, whilst Ms Harris is thought to be most likely to follow Mr Biden in either 2024 or 2028, depending on if he seeks a second term

Who would you vote for? 🇺🇸

Ms Harris made history as the first woman of colour to appear on a presidential or vice-presidential general election debate stage.

If elected, she would not only be the first woman in the White House but also the first black woman and Asian-American
