The less Biden says, the more likely it is he’ll win the Democratic nomination

In Thursday’s Democratic primary debate, Elizabeth Warren logged the most speaking time, followed by Amy Klobuchar, Bernie Sanders, and Pete Buttigieg. None of these candidates are the Democratic front-runner.

Joe Biden is, but we heard little from him during the debate — and perhaps that’s a good thing. The less Biden speaks, the more likely it is that he’ll maintain his front-runner status. The former vice president is familiar and friendly, but he is also prone to gaffes that have opened him up to criticism from Republicans and Democrats alike.
