Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine said Wednesday that even his wife said he interrupted too much during his debate this week with Indiana Gov. Mike Pence.

"The debate was a little feisty, I got to admit," the Virginia senator said Wednesday at a campaign rally in Philadelphia. "I'm Irish."

"For me," he added, "I got dinged a little bit, even by my wife, for, like, interrupting too much."

Pence and Kaine faced-off Tuesday evening for the first and only time in the 2016 election at Longwood University in Farmville, Va. The Democratic vice presidential candidate caught criticism after the event for the number of times that he interrupted both Pence and the moderator, CBS anchor Elaine Quijano.

The Republican National Committee even released a video Wednesday showing Kaine interrupted Pence during the debate at least 70 times.

On Wednesday, Kaine told supporters that one of the key takeaways from the debate is that Pence supposedly struggled to defend the GOP nominee.

"But the key part of that debate was, at some points, I felt like both me and Mike Pence were debating Donald Trump," Kaine said in Philadelphia.
