Fly lands on Pence’s head during VP debate

Vice President Pence had company on his side of the stage during his debate against Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris on Wednesday.

A fly made a surprise appearance on top of Pence’s head while he was answering a question about racism. The moment, which appeared to last for longer than a minute before the fly departed, immediately went viral on Twitter.

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden poked fun at the moment in a tweet not long after, asking supporters to donate money to help his “campaign fly.”
