Tom Steyer spent $109,000 per second he spoke during 2020 presidential debate

WESTERVILLE, Ohio — Tom Steyer failed to make a splash in his first Democratic presidential primary debate despite spending the equivalent of $109,000 per second he spoke on the stage.

The 62-year-old billionaire hedge fund king-turned-impeachment activist had the least amount of speaking time of the 12 candidates during Tuesday’s debate, about 7 minutes, while most other candidates got 12 minutes or more to answer moderator questions and make their points.
