Who Spoke The Most In The First Presidential Debate?

Media and politics in the U.S.

President Trump and Joe Biden faced off in their first presidential debate last night and as expected, it was a bad-tempered affair, filled with interruptions and insults. Moderator Chris Wallace struggled to take control of an event that saw no handshake between both men and it swiftly degenerated into a shouting match. According to CNN, President Trump had the most speaking time in the debate at 39 minutes and 6 seconds while Joe Biden spoke for 37 minutes and 56 seconds.
