There was one thing that caught attention from the vice presidential debate on Wednesday night — not Vice President Mike Pence or Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), but a fly.
It was unfazed as it stayed on Pence’s head while he debated Harris.

Shortly after, several Twitter accounts were created for the fly, who got “a great seat at the debate,” as the bio reads for the Front Row Seat account.
“Everyone jealous because I got the best seat for the debate tonight,” one tweet read.
Another tweet read, “I already had to get tested before they let me into the debate. I’m Covid free.”

Congratulations to the fly on Mike Pence's head for experiencing more human contact than I have since March

Among the topics during the debate, Harris and Pence pushed back against each other regarding the Trump administration’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, as IJR reported.
