re

31

More than 26 million viewers tuned in to watch Vice President Kamala
Harris accept her party�s historic nomination for President of the United
States, at the Democratic National Convention on Thursday night.

Night 4 of the DNC was broadcast live from Chicago from approximately 9
pm to 11:30 pm ET, and carried on 15 networks monitored by Nielsen (with
�varied� coverage on each).

The total audience of 26.2 million marks a 7% uptick from Night 4 of the
2020 DNC (where California governor Gavin Newsom, entrepreneur Andrew
Yang, U.S Senator Cory Booker and Hunter Biden were among those who spoke
on behalf of future POTUS Joe Biden), but a 12% decline from 2016 (when
Colorado governor John Hickenlooper, U.S. Representative Ted Lieu,
Chelsea Clinton and others vouched for former FLOTUS and Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton).

Night 4 of the DNC delivered only a 3% larger audience than the
conclusion of this year�s Republican National Convention, in which former
President Donald Trump accepted his party�s re-nomination in front of a
TV audience of 25.3 million.

The four-day DNC closed with a speech by Harris as she formally accepted
the Democratic presidential nomination; the audience during that 40-
minute stretch averaged 28.9 million viewers � compared to 28.4 mil for
Trump�s own acceptance speech.

All told, the DNC averaged 21.8 million viewers this week, versus the
four-night RNC�s 19.1 million.
