It’s no secret that Donald Trump has an obsession with TV ratings and he’s likely going to be unhappy when he sees the ratings for the Democratic National Convention.

The 2024 DNC began on Monday (August 19) and the first night topped the ratings of the RNC’s first night this year. Keep reading to find out more… TVLine reports that 20.03 million people tuned in for night one of the DNC while the first night of the RNC was watched by 18.1 million people.

The fourth and final night of the RNC, featuring Trump‘s speech, was viewed by an average of 25.4 million people and peaked with 28.4 million viewers.

We’ll have to wait and see how many people tune in for Kamala Harris‘ speech on Thursday! Rolling Stone reported this week that in private moments, Trump has “been sure to stress that the viewership he pulled for his televised acceptance speech on the final night of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee last month was ‘tremendous,’ and that he feels it is unlikely Vice President Harris will be able to top his numbers on the evening she gives her big speech.” Some reports online have stated that Trump is “obsessed” with the ratings.
