I don’t know doesn’t seem like that much more. The numbers for both conventions seem to be highher than what you put here, pretty close:
RNC Night 4 amassed 23.8 million total viewers, with Fox News Channel, Fox Business Network, Telemundo, Univision, PBS, CNN, CNNe, MSNBC, Newsmax and Newsy now all accounted for (in addition to the coverage on ABC, CBS and NBC). That’s up 38 percent from the night prior to mark the Republican convention’s largest audience.
Fueling the Night 4 surge for the RNC was viewership among Adults 18-34, which more than doubled (to 1.66 million) from Night 3. Meanwhile, the 35-54 crowd grew 48 percent, while viewership among those 55-plus increased by 29 percent.
Demos just a bit more, from the same article:
That said, across the 13 aforementioned cable and broadcast channels, the RNC Night 4 audience fell just shy of the DNC’s own closing night (which drew 24.6 million). Similarly, Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s Night 4 nomination acceptance speech outdrew President Donald Trump’s, 23.6 million viewers to 21.6 million.
pretty close. Biden a tad more, not much more. Not sure why he didn’t get started til after 10:30 when he knew it was going to go long.
The wild part about that speech is that it was 75 minutes long and contained like maybe three or four minutes of ad libs. Someone thought it was a good idea to make a speech that long. Well, like twelve people did from the way it sounded.
So funny that for the past week their whole thing has been “oh like it’s hard to read from a teleprompter” but based on trumps performance it looks kinda hard.
So it looks like the premise of the thread is wrong. Who actually had more views, between tv & internet, Republicans were watched more, besides bringing in more money. Nowadays tv is not the only means of watching conventions:
Meanwhile, the Republican National Convention brought in 147.9 million total views across television and online between Monday and the end of Thursday night’s programming, according to a senior campaign official.
The DNC convention, as Fox News previously reported, had 122 million total viewers through television and online.
“With massive fundraising and record viewership, President Trump’s re-nomination convention was a huge, unqualified success,” Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh told Fox News Friday.
