Joe Biden’s 2020 acceptance speech pulls smaller TV audience than Hillary Clinton 2016 address — Supporters watch the program outside the venue where Democratic presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Biden is speaking, during the final day of the Democratic National Convention, Thursday, Aug. 20, 2020, at the Chase Center in Wilmington, Del.

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina — Joe Biden was judged for his small crowds during the primary, and it seems his numbers aren’t improving as the Democratic Party’s 2020 presidential nominee.

Only an estimated 24.6 million people saw this cycle’s Democratic standard-bearer on Thursday accept his party’s nomination on TV, compared to an average of 30 million who tuned in four years ago for Hillary Clinton, according to Nielsen Media Research.
