Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris' epic debate performance on Tuesday was watched by 67.1 million Americans, according to the media analytics firm Nielsen. That’s nearly 16 million more than the number who tuned in to see Donald Trump face off with President Joe Biden in June.
As important as the number of viewers could be who those viewers were. Among the top 10 markets for the debate were a number of cities in swing states, including Pittsburgh and Philadelphia at the top of the list, according to Mike Mulvihill, an analyst for Fox. Minneapolis, Milwaukee, and Detroit also had high levels of viewership.
West Palm Beach, Florida, was also near the top in viewers glued to a screen. Did you like what you saw, neighbors of Trump?
Trump’s campaign workers and surrogates were certainly not pleased, and now they’re working overtime to clean up the mess left by Trump’s angry, conspiracy-driven performance.
