Trump's Republican Convention Speech Draws 2.5 Million Viewers, Below NFL and Kimmel Interview
President Donald Trump's speech at the Republican midterm convention drew about 2.5 million viewers on Fox News, the only major network to broadcast it in full. This figure contrasts with Trump's claim that the event "beat the NFL" opening night, as NFL games typically attract significantly higher viewership. Meanwhile, Jimmy Kimmel's interview with Democratic candidate James Talarico on YouTube surpassed the convention's livestream views, highlighting varied audience engagement across platforms. Trump urged voters to treat the midterms as a referendum on his presidency.
