Preliminary numbers from NBC's telecast should put it well ahead of kickoff debates from 2012 and 2008.
The first presidential primary debate of the 2020 campaign drew a pretty big audience — but not 2016 big.
Wednesday's telecast will likely end up a good bit behind the first debates of the 2016 election cycle. The first Republican primary debate in August 2015 drew a massive 24 million viewers on Fox News, the channel's biggest audience ever, as it was then-candidate Donald Trump's first time facing other candidates.
