President Trump on Saturday touted online viewership for the Republican National Convention after his speech drew a smaller TV audience than Joe Biden's address, with the GOP saying total viewership across TV and online for its event surpassed that of the Democratic convention.
Republicans said Friday that 147.9 million people watched the four-day GOP convention, which culminated Thursday night with the president's speech on the South Lawn of the White House. By comparison, Biden's campaign said last week that the Democratic convention drew around 122 million total viewers.
Trump is right on that one. TV as a medium is losing more and more importance over time. Gone are the days where people crowed around the TV set to watch important political announcements, the 6 pm news or a hot new sitcom episode.
