Biden campaign sold 35,000 fly swatters after Mike Pence's 'fly moment' at VP debate

In the one and only vice-presidential debate between incumbent Mike Pence and Senator Kamala Harris earlier this week, a fly stole the show by sitting on US Vice President’s head for a couple of minutes. Taking all the limelight from the face-off, the little insect not only triggered memes on social media or Halloween costumes but Democratic Presidential Nominee Joe Biden campaign rolled out a fly fundraiser. Calling it “Truth Over Flies”, the Biden campaign started offering fly swatters as a premium for $10 donations. As per a Bloomberg report, the team sold 35,000 of them within a few hours after the debate.

Biden raised $12 million during VP debate

Joe Biden, who has reportedly said that he wants to claim victory in November elections by an undeniable margin, raised $12 million during the vice presidential debate that took place on October 8 at Utah University. Meanwhile, as per Bloomberg report, at least 6.6 million people have already cast their ballots. There are still 26 days until the election and 67 days until the Electoral College meets. Moreover, the total amount that Biden raised during the VP debate topped the nearly $10 million that he reportedly raised after his disjointed confrontation with US President Donald Trump on September 30 in Cleveland.

“We can’t just win by a vote,” the Democratic presidential nominee told supporters. “We’ve got to all turn out. We can be better than we’ve seen. We can be what we are at our best if we all get out and vote.”
