Joe Biden’s town hall drew more TV viewers than President Trump’s competing event on Thursday night, according to early figures.
A total of 12.7 million viewers tuned in to ABC to watch Biden field questions from voters from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m., compared to 10.4 million who watched Trump do the same on NBC, initial Nielsen ratings show, according to the Wrap.
The Democratic presidential candidate also came out on top with adults ages 18-49, with a 2.6 rating. Trump scored a 1.7 rating.

Most likely drinking shots of booze for gaffs.
All airports, schools and public metro venues were ordered to air it.
Well, I was watching Tucker because I knew they were going to spend the whole time attacking President Trump.
I’m sure many others did the same.
So it means nothing.
Surprising as Joe is an absolute snoozefest. Literally.
Perhaps they had a pool on when he’d run out of gas.
Well Joy Behar said people would rather watch a car crash than a policy discussion.
Not true Trump’s town hall was broadcast on MSNBC and CNBC. So, the combined audience for Trump’s town hall will be higher.
Trump’s was only an hour. Biden’s was 2 I think.
It means that people tuned into Biden in the hopes of witnessing him self-destruct when asked about Hunter’s laptop.
Question: Do TV ratings mean anything in the era when most people watch things like this streaming online?

I would like to see the ratings for the last half hour—bet most of the Biden watchers had turned off the TV.
The remaining viewers were dogs and cats—and they vote!
Lots of reasons for this.....
Biden out of hiding - nobody has heard what he has to say.
The Biden Show factor - how many gaffes will he make?
The Biden Squirm Effect - will he be asked about the corruption, and how will he respond?
As a Trump supporter, I had no desire to watch some dem hack be rude to the president. It makes my blood boil.
As a Trump supporter, I don’t need to watch him in the lion’s den. I can tune in to numerous rallies and see him whenever I like - and not get high blood pressure!
Tuning in to the msm is verboten. No way, no how.
That’s my take on the ratings.
I don’t even remember the last time I watched anything on Network Television?
I watched neither but if I was forced to choose I would have watched Biden at least for a while for gaffs and anything on Hunter. Trump for me is a known and fewer surprises expected. From what I hear Biden was boring and rambling. Trump had a lively debate with the MSM whore.
It just means that people on the right watched both while people on the left tend to not like their world views challenged...and orange man bad....etc.
Just read....Biden’s was for 1 1/2 hours. WHY? President Trump’s was only for an hour.
Policy discussions can actually get interesting and informative after you remove all the leftist agitators and propagandists from the room.
People were curious if Biden would be asked about the Hunter revelations.
