Former President Donald Trump’s town hall on Fox News Channel (FNC) Wednesday night received nearly double the viewership of CNN’s Republican primary debate featuring former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, according to data from AdImpact.
“Last night, Donald Trump’s town hall on FNC had nearly double the viewership of the 5th Republican Presidential Primary debate on CNN: an estimated 5.7M to 2.9M,” AdImpact announced, providing a chart of the estimated viewership of past debates and town hall events.
“The town hall was the most watched Presidential primary TV event we’ve tracked since November 8th,” it added.
Indeed, the chart showed the first GOP debate, which took place on August 23, kicking off with a bang with 14.2 million estimated viewers. That only declined as the debates rolled on, descending to 9.9 million and 9.2 million, respectively. Trump participated in none of the debates, often offering counterprogramming — whether an interview with Tucker Carlson or meeting with striking autoworkers in Michigan.
Since that third Republican debate, which took place in early November and attracted 9.1 million viewers, there has not been a televised event that garnered as much viewership as Trump’s Fox News town hall Wednesday evening.
The Fox News town hall saw 5.7 million viewers, compared to 2.9 million who tuned in to CNN’s debate between the GOP frontrunner’s rivals — Haley and DeSantis.
