Democratic primary debate a win for NBC as 15.3 million viewers watch

Debate season got off to a strong start on Wednesday as 15.3 million viewers watched the first round of contenders for the Democratic nomination face off on NBC, MSNBC and Telemundo.

Democratic presidential hopefuls Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey, left, Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and former U.S Rep. Beto O'Rourke of Texas participate in the first Democratic primary debate of the 2020 presidential campaign season.

But the 15.3-million figure tallied by Nielsen for the premiere 2020 event, held in Miami, is higher than any of the primary debates held before the 2016 campaign cycle. The audience figures bode well for NBC’s coverage of the second round of candidates appearing on stage Thursday, which includes the front-runner, former Vice President Joe Biden, and other higher-polling candidates Sens. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Kamala Harris of California and South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg.
