Trump needed a clear win from Pence tonight to turn around their faltering campaign, and Pence didn't do it
Two crossed lines that form an 'X'. It indicates a way to close an interaction, or dismiss a notification.Tonight Sen. Kamala Harris and Vice President Mike Pence met in Utah to debate in the only vice presidential debate of the cycle.
The Trump campaign was down, but after the events of last week polls have reliably been coming in worse for the president's re-election bid. The administration he serves in is contending with a coronavirus outbreak inside the White House and the president himself has fallen ill with the deadly virus. The campaign he is relying on to hold his job has had one of its worst weeks of the year following an ill-received Trump performance at last week's debate and the diagnosis of the president with COVID-19.
Sen. Harris had simple goals: Do no harm, don't change the race, and keep up the pressure. Vice President Pence had a more complex one: Not only did he have to defend the performance of his administration so far, he needed to goad Harris into an error that the Trump campaign can use effectively or to change the narrative away from what's become a brutal news cycle for the president's bid.
