Female candidates onstage during the first Democratic presidential debate on Wednesday night spoke more than their male counterparts on average.
The three women onstage spoke for an average of 8.1 minutes each, a slight increase from the men, who spoke for an average of 7.8 minutes each, according to a Vox analysis of Washington Post data.
Only two candidates spoke for more than 10 minutes and no candidate got to speak as long as the 11 minutes and 13 seconds that NBC advertised.
