The Democratic party or Bidens campaign didnt release total digital ratings data officially. However, Biden campaigns national press secretary TJ Ducklo said in an Aug. 18 Twitter post that 28.9 million people watched the fourth night of the DNC.
Based on data posted by Ducklo and Nielsen, the digital viewership of the fourth night of DNC should be around 4.3 million.
The Epoch Times could not independently verify the DNCs digital ratings from all four nights released by the Republican party.
Biden campaign didnt respond to an email request for comment.
