67.1 million viewers tuned in to Tuesday’s debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, marking a significant increase from June’s debate between Trump and President Joe Biden. The majority of viewers were aged 55 and older, with 41.3 million tuning in, while 16.9 million were aged 35-54, and 6.5 million were aged 18-34. These numbers are comparable to the finales of popular sitcoms Seinfeld and Friends. The Nielsen data only accounts for television viewers, not those who watched on social media or streaming platforms. Harris is widely perceived as the winner of the debate, with 63 percent of viewers in a CNN poll believing she outperformed Trump. The debate, hosted by ABC News, covered a range of issues including the economy, immigration, and abortion. While the viewing figures didn’t break the record set by Trump’s first debate with Hillary Clinton in 2016, they still represent a significant audience. The high-stakes showdown between the Democratic and Republican nominees captivated the nation and drew in a vast number of viewers eager to witness the clash of ideas and visions for the future of the country.
