BOSTON — Wednesdays vice presidential debate had a very different tone than the presidential debate last week.
Voters who logged on to watch with Boston 25 News Reporter Wale Aliyu under the hashtag #WatchWithWale had a lot to say. Just like last week, the moderator was a trending topic.

During the presidential debate, the candidates talked over each other so you couldn’t hear the answers, but during this debate the candidates didn’t always give the answers to the questions they were being asked.

Does Pence have a different moderator? He’s answering completely different questions, not asking others, and don’t hear the moderator telling him to shut up. Someone needs to check his ear. #VPDebate2020 pic.twitter.com/LT1HMjkz29

Other big topics were the green new deal, Kamala Harris’s response when asked about packing the court saying that President Trump has packed the court without any African Americans and the candidates tone toward each other.
When Kamala said “IM SPEAKING” every single woman felt THAT

Abortion rights, whether or not Breanna Taylor received justice and Pence’s comparison of the swine flu to COVID-19 were also trending.
Anyone remember having to be stuck in the house for 5 months over swine flu?

So who won? Viewers are split.
