Who Dominated the 5th Democratic Debate?
2020
The fifth televised Democratic debate, which involved ten 2020 candidates, took place last night in Atlanta. The subjective analysis is still ongoing, but what we can objectively measure is who dominated the air time the most. The Washington Post recorded the number of minutes spoken by each candidate. Elizabeth Warren, having experienced a recent surge to the top end of the polls, was also in the lead here with over 13.4 minutes. Now struggling front-runner Joe Biden down in third with 12.6 minutes - 0.2 minutes less than second-placed Pete Buttigieg.
