Despite the Democratic National Convention failing to top its 2016 viewership, its first night drew higher ratings than those of the first three nights of last month’s Republican National Convention.

Roughly 20 million viewers tuned in to watch the DNC’s first night, according to Nielsen data. While the viewership reportedly topped that of the 2020 DNC, which was held virtually, it fell 22% below 2016’s ratings.
