Vox: 5 winners and 3 losers from the vice presidential debate
I am sure Fox is going to work overtime to gas light the country and Trump will use increasingly hysterical pejoratives to attack Kamala Harris, but there is a reason why Harris decisively won the polls on debate night.

Winner: Kamala Harris
Kamala Harris came into the night representing a campaign that appears to be winning. Joe Biden is leading handily in the polls less than a month before the election, and if anything, the campaign appears to be gaining steam.
Pence delivered a solid performance — the type you would expect of a moderately successful Republican politician in the pre-Trump era — that may have put some undecided moderates at ease. He spoke in complete sentences, delivered some decent hits, and managed to defend the administration’s record, even if misleadingly. But he’s not at the top of the ticket — Donald Trump is. The guy who seems determined to make things worse in the country at every turn and has spent the past 24 hours on quite a Twitter tear.
Harris delivered a solid, smart performance that reminded the American people of what’s happening and what’s at stake. She is a compelling person and a powerful speaker, and she leaned into that as she often spoke directly to camera.
“They still don’t have a plan. Joe Biden does,” she said at the outset of the night when discussing the administration’s coronavirus response.
