The closing night of the Democratic National Convention on Thursday drew about 26.2 million TV viewers, narrowly outpacing the Republican National Convention’s final night, according to data from the media measurement company Nielsen.
The convention’s final night aired across 15 television networks and drew about 820,000 more viewers than the estimated 25.4 million people who watched the final night of the Republican event, Nielsen reported.
ActBlue says grassroots donors contributed more than $100 million during the DNC this week. Just during the hour after Vice President Harris’ acceptance speech, donors sent $7.2 million to Democratic candidates through the platform.
