Kamala Harris' face has gone on QUITE the journey.

On Wednesday night, Senator Harris and Vice President Mike Pence met up at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City to go head to head in the first and only vice presidential debate of the 2020 election, and over the course of the evening Harris flipped through an entire Rolodex worth of facial expressions.

While listening to Pence respond to questions about everything from the coronavirus and healthcare to climate change and Trump's income taxes, she couldn't help but react to statements she disagreed with...which were pretty much all of them.

She pulled out the side-eye, the stern Momala face, the "I'm tired of men not letting women speak" gaze, and the "Oh sweetie, no" smirk. Occasionally Harris had to outright laugh at Pence's comments, and she certainly didn't shy away from confronting him whenever he tried to interrupt her.

During the disastrous presidential debate on Sept. 29, Joe Biden let some remarkable facial expressions loose. But Harris definitely one-upped her running mate tonight. Pence and his red eye didn't stand a chance against Harris' looks.

Pence, if you're reading this you might want to spend some time practicing facial expressions in front of the bathroom mirror when you get home so you don't look like an emotionless robot next time you're on stage.
