Samba TV is reporting that 28.3 million homes watched the Presidential Debate hosted by ABC News on Sept. 10. That makes the faceoff between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris the most the most-watched TV event of the year so far, besides the Super Bowl, according Samba TV.
This also marked a 12% increase from the June 27 debate between Donald Trump and then-candidate President Joe Biden, which was seen in 25.2 million homes. Of note is the fact that 53% of the audience that watched Tuesday's debate skipped the June Biden/Trump debate, showing a renewed interest in the race since Joe Biden dropped out.
