  1. Great to hear. Validation that our message is resonating. People are excited to hear someone who isn’t angry and has a real way forward for this country.

  3. Steady numbers Monday – Wednesday and then a significant boost on Thursday.

    This is the first convention that I watched most of.

  5. Nice. Gimme comparisons though. How’s that match up to Stanley Cup finals and M*A*S*H finales?

  7. How many viewers watched Trump’s RNC shitshow?

  8. Harris’s speech had 28.9 million viewers, while Trump’s RNC speech had 28.4 million, but don’t worry, Trump’s totally cool with her getting better ratings.

  9. I’m too lazy to look up her policies and too dumb to understand big words, so I’ll just claim she still has no policies /s

  10. I wonder what it is when you add streaming. My girlfriend for instance watched off the pbs youtube link i sent her while i watched on cable. There were thousands of people, mainly young people, watching on instagram and tik tok live as well. Either way, thats a lot of damn people.

  11. I imagine they could have pulled even more viewers for all four nights had they actually scheduled the top speakers for primetime slots.

  14. I feel like we took back patriotism from them last night

  15. I checked in on a couple of nights, including Harris’s acceptance speech. I’m not a rah rah kinda guy but was very impressed with the energy, patriotism, and positivity of the DNC. It felt like a big tent revival. This engine is really starting to hum.

  16. Meanwhile Elon Musk tweets calling her a communist get 100 million views DAILY

    how do you even compete with that

  17. Its actually 28.9m during Harris speech.

    Trump was at 28.4m during his.

  19. For the record. I was only watching to see Big Brother but the DNC went long.

  20. What a missed opportunity to throw support behind Palestine.

  22. I’m sure Trump’s nonstop raving about it helped lol

  23. Cause for celebration but the election’s not over, folks:

    >The final night of the RNC brought in 24.5 million average viewers, peaking at 28.4 million during Donald Trump’s speech — just under Harris’ peak.

    I’m still amazed at how much support Trump still gets but there it is. Too bad voting takes more effort than just changing the channel. Republicans will certainly be voting.

  24. Harris is campaigning on unity, hope, freedom, and future.

    Trump is campaigning on grievances, anger, control, and covfefe.

    The choice is obvious.

  25. Wish we could get a count that included streaming. TikTok and YouTube were very busy watching as well

  26. I am voting for Kamala, but if we’re real, some of the surge was people wanting to see Taylor or Beyoncé
