Bloomberg's addition to the Democratic debate stage leads to record viewership

of Minnesota, former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Bloomberg spent two hours Wednesday night duking it out at the Paris Las Vegas Hotel & Casino.Almost every Democratic candidateBloomberg, who jumped into the race in November and is not on the ballot in Nevada, did not qualify for previous debates because his campaign does not take contributions and so it didn't meet donor thresholds.

Bloomberg's addition to the stage on Wednesday may have contributed to the surge; television viewers inundated by his campaign ad blitz might have tuned in to see how he would fare in a live setting pitted against his rivals. In addition to the nearly 20 million who caught the debate that aired on NBC News and MSNBC, 13.5 million viewers watched the debate online over a live stream., and was also hosted by NBC News and MSNBC.

Viewership tapered off following the first debate, with the others drawing less than 10 million views each night, according to Deadline.

WWE Fans mostly.

So millions more watched Bloomberg self destruct and embarrass himself? Priceless!!

That is great, lots of people got to see what a dumpster fire the democratic party has become.

That's great.

I think that's a side effect because people are either concerned the impact for their personal democratic candidate of choice OR they are watching eating popcorn because this Jerry Springer show is basically helping Trump get re-elected for 4 more years.

Lots of interest in Bloomberg, reason for record debate watchers. Instead we got a despicable performance of contestants on the attack mode and little discussion of real issues, ideas, and strategy. Make up your own minds and vote in 2020 very disappointing but we can do better.

Well I watched a Dem debate for the first time. Who doesn’t like a good fight 🤷🏼‍♂️

He embarrassed himself in front of 20 million viewers

that’s why I watched! MikeBloomberg

So we all watched the debate only because Bloomberg was on stage? Right....🙄

Only debate I've watched and the dumpster fire was well worth the time...

Don’t tell Trump,he believes it was the worst debate ever

i watched just to see how he would do as he is a capitalist :)

and record Laughter!
