Donald Trump drew fewer viewers to his second inauguration than to his first, as well as to Joe Biden’s four years ago. According to Nielsen on Tuesday, the inauguration drew 24.59 million viewers, compared to 33.

NEW YORK (AP) — An estimated 24.6 million television viewers watched President Donald Trump’s second inauguration, the smallest audience for the quadrennial ceremony since Barack Obama’s second inauguration in 2013.

That’s a lower total than what was achieved by both of the two most recent inauguration broadcasts: 27% below the 33.8 million viewers who tuned into Joe Biden’s presidential inauguration in 2021, and 21% below the 31 million who watched Trump’s first inauguration in 2017.
