Joe beats Don in Town Hall ratings

The ratings for Thursday night’s presidential town hall meetings are in and Joe Biden on ABC handily topped Donald Trump on NBC, where the latter was once a reality TV star.

Biden averaged 14.1 million viewers during his 90 minute Q&A on Thursday, according to Nielsen ratings. President Trump, whose town hall ran only an hour long and was broadcast on three NBC stations, attracted roughly a million fewer viewers overall.

Nielsen’s numbers only reflect television viewership and not streaming portable devices.
