Low for Millions of Review in Second Trump-Biden debate

The viewing figure represents the average audience on 15 television networks that broadcast the debate directly Thursday evening. Most viewers had channel “Fox News c. 15.4 million, writes Reuters.

The White House head used a more cautious tone this time, compared to the September debate, when he interrupted and prevented his rival dozens of times in responses. In the first debate, the viewing figure was 73.1 million people.

One reason for the smallest number of viewers may have been an American football match, which was broadcast simultaneously on Fox television.

However, the published viewing figures include only people watching the debate in front of television and doesn't include digital platforms, which are becoming more popular, as television viewing is declining.

Otherwise, the presidential debate with the greatest visibility in the history of the United States was the one between Trump and Hillary Clinton in 2016, which was viewed by 84 million people only on television.
