Over the course of two nights of debates between 20 Democratic candidates, Biden’s nearly 21 minutes of talk time represented the most that any candidate had to present their case — almost three minutes longer than the most verbose candidate of Tuesday’s debate, Sen.

But unlike Harris, Warren and Sanders, Biden seemed to leave a significant amount of time on the table, deferring to moderators at their first attempts to cut him off, while the others barreled through their admonishments to wrap up.

Biden, who still leads in virtually every poll of national and early state Democratic voters, has had more microphone time than any other candidate over the first two sets of debates, at nearly 34 minutes. Harris has spoken for almost 29 minutes, while Sanders and Warren spoke for between 27 and 28 minutes each.

Some of the candidates who have yet to qualify for the next debate, in September, have spoken for only a fraction of the time of the front-runners.
