Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy racked up the most speaking time at the raucous Republican presidential primary debate on Wednesday.
Both men were the primary targets of Wednesday evening’s debate, which took place at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum in Simi Valley, California. DeSantis spoke for 12 minutes and 17 seconds at the combative two-hour event, the most of the evening. Ramaswamy, meanwhile, had 12 minutes and 8 seconds of speaking time.
Sen. Tim Scott spoke for 11 minutes and 2 seconds onstage. The numbers are an improvement from his first debate performance when he only clocked in 8 minutes and 15 seconds of speaking time. The South Carolina senator shifted strategy a bit by speaking faster and more aggressively criticizing his competitors.
Haley spoke for 9 minutes and 48 seconds, nearly a minute less than former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s 10 minutes and 30 seconds of speaking time. Still, she came out ahead of former Vice President Mike Pence and Gov. Doug Burgum , who were left fighting for scraps.
