Second GOP Debate Without Trump Sees Viewership Drop by More than 25 Percent Jordan Dixon-Hamilton 28 Sep 2023
Wednesday night’s second Republican primary debate without former President Donald Trump saw viewership drop by more than 25 percent compared to the first debate held last month, preliminary data from Nielsen shows.
While the first GOP debate without Trump captured 12.8 million TV viewers, less than 10 million watched the second debate, according to Nielsen. Just 9.3 million viewers tuned in for the debate across Fox News, Fox Business, and Univision, marking a 26 percent decline in viewers from last month’s debate.
Trump, who is leading by as many as 50 points in the polls, is not participating in the GOP debates due to his polling advantage. Instead of attending Wednesday’s debate, Trump addressed striking autoworkers in Michigan.
