The viewership for the first night of the Democratic National Convention was down from its audience for the last in-person convention that the party had in 2016.
On Monday night, Democrats gathered in Chicago for their first in-person convention since 2016, and the evening drew an audience of roughly 20 million, Axios reported. Those numbers are down 22% from the 26 million people that watched the convention in 2016 when former Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Clinton was officially nominated by her party to go against Donald Trump.
The biggest speaker of the night was billed to be President Joe Biden, but his farewell address to the delegates didn’t happen until very late on the East Coast after earlier speeches went longer than the convention officials expected.
