Just over a week after former Vice President Joe Biden and President Trump went head-to-head in a debate, Sen. Kamala Harris took on Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday evening.
As they did for Trump and Biden's recent showdown, celebrities took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the showdown.
Right out of the gate, comedian Patton Oswalt praised Harris for her initial comments on the current administration's handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
"'They have forfeited their right to re-election,'" he quoted. "YUP."

The evening also marks a moment in history, as Harris is the first Black and South Asian woman to take to the debate stage as a vice-presidential candidate.
Notably, the debate, which was held at the University of Utah, also included Plexiglass barriers and a fair amount of distance between Pence and Harris following a coronavirus breakout in the White House that ultimately worked its way to Trump and first lady Melania Trump.
