President Biden’s first speech to a joint session of Congress drew 22.6 million viewers across seven networks, according to early Nielsen figures reported by Deadline on Thursday.
That audience was a roughly 47 percent drop from the approximately 43 million who tuned in to former President Trump‘s first address to members of the House and Senate in 2017.
Biden’s speech on Wednesday night was delivered to a crowd of roughly 200 people, which was significantly slimmed down in order to implement COVID-19 precautions.
ABC won the ratings battle with 4.03 million viewers tuning in for Biden’s address, Deadline reported. MSNBC followed at 3.94 million, with NBC and CBS drawing 3.54 million and 3.37 million respectively.
Another 3.18 million watched CNN, 2.92 million watched Fox News and 1.63 million watched Fox, according to the Nielsen figures.
