As Presidential elections draw closer, everyone is gearing up for it. Vice President Mike Pence and his Democratic challenger Senator Kamala Harris are all geared up for a debate in the Sal Lake City of Utah on Wednesday. This will be for the first time in American history that an Indian origin person will be taking up the podium for a vice presidential debate. Political critics believe that an aggressive Harris, 55, will easily command over Pence, 61, during the only vice-presidential debate and help her running mate Joe Biden, 77, to widen his lead over Trump, 74.
