While speaking alongside Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) at the first and only vice presidential debate, Pence’s left eye caught the internet’s attention after it appeared to be bloodshot.

Some users suggested the issue may have stemmed purely from stress.

“Pence’s left eye is bright red… broke blood vessel from the stress???” @m_mendozaferrer questioned.

Numerous users joked that Pence’s eye was merely malfunctioning, proof that the vice president is not human.

Strangely enough, Biden also dealt with a bloodshot eye in 2019 during a town hall debate.

“Pence decided to pull a Biden and bleed out of his eye,” @zei_squirrel said.
