President Trump and Democratic candidate Joe Biden took the stage on Tuesday for their first presidential debate, but the entire event was a disappointment, according to viewers.
The debate was expected to attract a wide viewership, since the 2016 election’s debates between Trump and then-Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton set a record for the largest audience to ever tune into a presidential debate. But Trump and Biden managed to attract only 73 million viewers, according to Variety, which is 13 million fewer than the first Trump-Clinton debate four years ago.
