📊Trump's address tops Biden's final SOTU by millions of viewers

Around 36.6 million Americans tuned in to watch President Donald Trump’s 100-minute speech at a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night—the longest in modern history.

The live TV audience for Trump’s address was 13% higher than the 32.2 million viewers for former President Joe Biden’s final State of the Union (SOTU), The New York Times reported.

Approximately 71% of Trump’s live TV audience was aged 55 and older, according to Nielsen.

However, Trump's first appearance in his second nonconsecutive term attracted fewer viewers than his previous speeches. His 2017 address had 47.7 million viewers, while his SOTU speeches drew 45.5 million in 2018 and 46.8 million in 2019, according to the Los Angeles Times.
