On social media, Wednesday evening was not about the content of the debate between Harris, the ‘running mate’ of Biden, and Vice President Pence, but about the fly. Several accounts were created on Twitter in the name of the insect in no time.
Jokes
Viewers of the debate joked about the fly on the head of the vice president. Biden himself also joined: shortly after the debate, he posted a photo on Twitter with a fly swatter in his hand. His campaign team was not sitting still, as it turned out later.

Less than an hour after the debate were on the site of the campaign van Biden fly swatters for sale with the slogan ‘Truth Over Flies’. The swatters could be ordered for ten dollars. According to a spokesman, the 35,000 copies were sold out within a few hours.
12 million dollars
The debate between Harris and Pence did not harm Biden’s campaign. During the hour and a half event, the Democrat raised more than $ 12 million, reports Politico. Thanks in part to the fly swatters.
