The first presidential debate between Biden and Trump had over 51 million viewers, significantly lower than the previous debate. Many media outlets described Biden's performance during the debate as 'hard to watch'. Nielsen reported that the viewership for this debate decreased by 30% compared to the 73 million viewers of the 2020 debate. The low ratings indicate a lack of interest among American voters for both candidates, and some experts are questioning CNN's debate setup, including mic regulations and the absence of fact-checking on site. The next debate, organized by ABC News, is scheduled for September 10th.
