Pence and Harris began going head-to-head at around 2am (BST) in the televised event, during which they were seated more than 12ft apart and separated by plexiglass barriers.

The 90-minute debate was split into 10-minute sections and kicked off at 7pm local time, with all audience members made to wear face coverings.
