After a strong start for Buttigieg, Biden ended up with a solid lead in terms of words spoken by the end of the night. Sanders and Klobuchar spoke a similar amount, while Warren said less -- closer to Steyer than one might expect, given her third-place finish in Iowa. Yang was last, quite a long way behind the others.
