Speech Limits

Biden's speeches are getting shorter:

Beyond the small number of rallies, has anyone noticed that Biden has only spoken 30 minutes or longer at rallies on just three occasions? Most of his speeches are shorter than a sitcom, according to Fox News.

Biden spoke for more than 30 minutes on just three occasions during the 11 rallies in 2024 examined by Fox News Digital. Rallies are defined as campaign events at which Biden took the stage alone, stood in front of a podium and was joined by cheering supporters, as opposed to intimate campaign stops, fundraising events, or the brief remarks he has made while carrying out his duties as president. All three rallies at which he spoke for more than 30 minutes occurred during the first two months of 2024. He spoke for 33 minutes at a rally in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, in January; for about 32 minutes during a rally at the Mother Emanuel AME Church in South Carolina, also in January; and for 32 minutes during a North Las Vegas rally in February.

Trump's speeches are a minimum of one hour and are more usually an hour and a half or two hours. Trump speaks extemporaneously and, at times, wanders far afield to get to his point. But he's still standing after two hours.

And he knows where he is...
