Trump is after eyeballs.

Trump vs. Biden ratings will be interesting...

Biden got more, on TV at least. Maybe online will tell a different story.

It's contrary to my expectations too.

Maybe online will reverse it, like the conventions.

BTW, she was not an undecided voter. She was a Biden supporter before the event.

Perhaps Trump is a known quantity?

And Biden isn't?

I figure it's either going to be reversed with online viewership or it's indicative of Trump fatigue.

For some people, I don't think Biden is...He hasn't campaigned vigorously. Mostly what people have seen are canned ads.

Biden is nowhere near as entertaining as Trump.

And as mentioned, Tucker did very well in the same time slot.
