Wednesday’s debate among Elizabeth Warren, Beto O’Rourke and eight other candidates vying for the Democratic nomination for U.S. president aired live on Comcast-owned broadcaster NBC, cable channel MSNBC and Spanish-language network Telemundo. It was the most-watched event on U.S. television on Wednesday.
Wednesday’s TV audience did not reach the all-time primary record set in 2016 when 24 million viewers tuned in for the first performance by Donald Trump in a Republican candidates’ debate on Fox News Channel. The audience matched the preliminary estimate of 15.3 million viewers for a Democratic debate in October 2015 on CNN, now owned by AT&T Inc. That number was later revised to 15.8 million, a record for a Democratic primary field.
