Didn't see any of it, but seems to me that Harris supporters think she won, and Pence supporters think he did. (Actually, in the routine verbal imagery of violent dominance that the Right loves to use now - he "crushed" or "smashed" her in the debate. I think they get a particular thrill when it's a woman they are saying it about.) No reason to think it was other than a sort of draw then?
Then again, probably not, because from comments around the place, it seems Pence was a bit of an interrupter and ignored the time rules on a more minor scale than Trump but in a context in which it looks like he wanted to walk over women. Given Trump's unpopularity with women, that should have been something to avoid.
The biggest scandal that may come out of it would be if it turns out his pink eye really was a sign of a COVID infection. It would not be too surprising if this happens, and damaging to the Trump brand.
I also note that, as someone reminded us on Twitter, the Lefties watching thought the fly that was attracted to Pence's head was hilarious and a great metaphor; but if it had been the other way around, there would have genuinely been Trump supporters talking on social media about how it was a sign she was a demon or in league with them. [The tweet reminded us that Alex Jones had claimed this when a fly briefly alighted on Hilary Clinton in 2016. The nuttiness of the Right has only increased since then.]

no-one 'wins' such a 'debate'. sometimes a person loses simply because they make a large mistake.
It did not occur yesterday.
If homer reckons no-one wins and other people are talking about a fly, then its pretty clear that Pence won that one.
