Fox News viewership surges following Trump-Biden debate, trouncing all news networks during historic election

Fox News Channel has seen a dramatic surge in viewership following last month's presidential debate, trouncing all other news networks as the dramatic 2024 election cycle unfolds. 

From the June 27 debate through July 21, Fox News averaged a whopping four million total weeknight primetime viewers, crushing MSNBC and CNN's viewership combined. MSNBC averaged just 1.3 million viewers during that same time period while CNN trailed with only 1.1 million viewers.

Fox News also bested the primetime viewership of the broadcast networks, which historically have larger audiences than cable options. NBC averaged three million total viewers during the same time period, while ABC averaged 2.6 million viewers and CBS averaged 2.3 million viewers.

Additionally, Fox News crushed its cable rivals among viewers in the advertiser-coveted demographic of adults age 25-54. Fox News averaged 583,000 weeknight primetime viewers in the key demo, while CNN landed just an average of 311,000 demo viewers and MSNBC struggled with a dismal average of only 141,000. 

Fox News maintained its dominance when including its weekend primetime viewership, averaging 3.6 million viewers for the entire week as breaking news occurred to beat MSNBC and CNN combined in that category, too. 

TRUMP SAYS HE 'WOULD BE WILLING TO DO MORE THAN ONE DEBATE' WITH VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS

Fox News has become the country's most-watched news network since the CNN Presidential debate, where President Biden's disastrous debate performance shocked the nation and ultimately led to his exit from the 2024 race. 

Also occurring since the debate was the assassination attempt of former President Trump, the RNC convention in Milwaukee where Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, was selected as Trump's running mate and Vice President Kamala Harris was swiftly made the presumptive Democratic nominee.

FOX News Media sent formal letters to both the Trump and Harris campaigns proposing its own debate in September.

"Now that Vice President Kamala Harris is the presumptive Democratic nominee, FOX News Media is amending our proposal for a debate this cycle. Given the race has changed, we’d like to request the opportunity to host a Presidential Debate between VP Harris and former President Trump," the letters sent to each campaign, signed by FOX News Media President and Executive Editor Jay Wallace and FOX News Vice President of Politics Jessica Loker, stated Wednesday. 

"We propose to host the debate in the state of Pennsylvania on Tuesday, September 17, just as early voting is getting underway there and in other key battlegrounds. We are open to discussion on the exact date, format and location – with or without an audience," Wallace and Loker continued. "Again, we believe Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, the faces of our political coverage, are the best choices to moderate."

Jim Gaffigan says comedy audiences are tired of political drama and just want to laugh again

Comedian Jim Gaffigan revealed in an interview why he's mostly steering clear of politics in his stand-up material these days. Gaffigan told Variety that comedy fans don’t attend stand-up shows to hear lectures. They go to escape the real world and simply laugh at silly jokes. When the interviewer mentioned the recent crossover between comedy and politics, Gaffigan responded, "People are coming to a show to have a break from some of this drama. That’s not to say there aren’t great comedians who talk about social commentary. The spirit of George Carlin is very important."  And he recalled his political jokes after President Donald Trump's first election victory in 2016 not landing how he'd imagined. COMEDIAN DUSTY SLAY REVEALS HOW FAITH AND SOBRIETY PAVED THE ROAD TO HIS STAND-UP SUCCESS "I remember when Trump was first elected, and my opening act had some political jokes. During 2016 and 2017, the audience would kind of look at the ceiling. The jokes...

Prosecutors on Friday presented their final witness in the federal trial of Ryan Routh, accused of attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump at his West Palm Beach golf club on Sept. 15, 2024.

McGreevy read aloud a handwritten note Routh allegedly left in a box at Lazaro Plata’s home in Greensboro, North Carolina. The note began: "Dear World, .. This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, but I am so sorry I failed you... it’s up to you now to complete the job." The letter also mentioned a $150,000 reward. McGreevy testified that bank transfers showed Routh had the money to pay that sum.
