Vice President Kamala Harris is set to formally accept the Democratic presidential nomination on Thursday, the last night of the convention. Several high-profile Democrats are set to address the DNC, including President Joe Biden, former President Barack Obama, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and more. See the list of speakers here.
Former President Donald Trump’s speech on the fourth and final night of the Republican National Convention last month drew nearly 25.4 million viewers, according to Nielsen. It marked an increase in viewership from the final night of the 2020 RNC but a decline from his 2016 RNC speech.
An estimated 24.6 million tuned in for the final night of the 2020 DNC, in which Biden formally accepted his party’s presidential nomination, Nielsen said. Time will tell whether Harris’ address on Thursday pulls in a similar audience.
