The first television interview of presidential candidate Kamala Harris and vice presidential pick Tim Walz since the start of their campaign drew nearly 6 million viewers to CNN Thursday night, rocketing it to the No. 1 cable news slot, according to early Nielsen national figures.

That made the interview with its impressive 5.987 million watchers the largest draw to the 9 p.m. ET time slot since the June debate between President Joe Biden and Donald Trump with 9.5 million viewers, and previous to that, Biden's inauguration.
