Who Spoke Most at the Democratic National Convention?

Michelle Obama, who anchored the Democrats’ first virtual convention Monday night, spoke longest, followed by Eva Longoria, the actress who hosted the event.

Four Republicans who stepped up for Joseph R. Biden Jr. — including the former Ohio governor John Kasich — spoke for a total of about five and a half minutes.

Monday’s lineup of speakers was intended to convey the broad ideological support for Mr. Biden — from Republicans like Mr. Kasich to Senator Bernie Sanders, the democratic socialist from Vermont, who placed second in the 2016 and 2020 Democratic presidential primaries.

Heading into the four-day convention, the most closely guarded secret was how much time each speaker would get during the two-hour window each night.

Party officials said the average speech length would clock in at two minutes — after accounting for the five major addresses from the Obamas, the Bidens and Senator Kamala Harris, Mr. Biden’s running mate. Speakers spent recent weeks privately jockeying with convention organizers for extra time.

With so little time to divide among so many speakers representing the ideological, racial and geographic diversity of the party, convention planners have been careful not to advertise how much time each speaker received, to avoid causing hurt feelings in advance of the virtual event.
