The Vice Presidential Debate for the United States (US) Presidential Elections 2020, began on Wednesday, 7 October (ET), with California Senator Kamala Harris, and present Vice President Mike Pence sparring over COVID-19.
Speaking on US President Donald Trump’s COVID-19 response, Kamala Harris, according to PBS NewsHour, said:
Harris further alleged that even though the the present president and Vice President were informed that the pandemic is “lethal and airborne,” they failed to come up with a plan, reported ANI. She added:
Pence, however, in his retort suggested that the the Biden-Harris plan to combat the virus was copied rom the current Trump administration’s approach.
Further Pence said: “I mean, quite frankly, when I look at their plan – that talks about advancing testing, creating new PPE, developing a vaccine – it looks a little bit like plagiarism, which is something Joe Biden knows a little bit about.”
Applauding US President Donald Trump for suspending all travel from China, Pence said that Trump did what no US President had ever done.
On the question of a possible vaccine, Kamala Harris said, “If Dr Fauci, if the doctors tell us that we should take it, I’ll be the first in line to take it. Absolutely.”
