The third Republican presidential main debate noticed viewership decline though it was on broadcast tv, which might recommend low curiosity within the non-Trump candidates and GOP main.
The Hollywood Reporter reported on the controversy rankings:
The Republican debate aired on NBC (however not cable siblings MSNBC or CNBC) and drew 7.5 million viewers on the community, Peacock and different streaming and digital platforms.

The September occasion, in flip, fell off from 13 million viewers for the primary debate of the cycle, additionally on Fox Information and Fox Enterprise. An hour of study after the controversy averaged 3.2 million viewers.
As I wrote in October, there may be rising proof that Trump has killed Republican voter enthusiasm in the early presidential main states.
Republicans don’t appear to be very excited in regards to the election, and the shortage of enthusiasm relates an excellent deal to a celebration frontrunner who has been spending extra time obsessing about his legal fees than he spends on the marketing campaign path interacting with voters.
Trump fatigue is a really actual situation throughout the Republican Social gathering. 2024 would be the third consecutive election the place Donald Trump is the main candidate for the Republican presidential nomination.
Republicans will nonetheless vote for Trump, however their lack of enthusiasm might change into a significant drawback for the GOP in 2024.
