The event garnered a whopping 3.3 million viewers, making it the second most viewed town hall since CNN began broadcasting single-candidate interviews in 2016. Only a 2020 event with Joe Biden, just before the presidential election, barely topped the Trump event at 3.4 million.<\/p>\n<p>The Hill reported that &#8220;That figure represents more than three times the number of viewers CNN has earned during the 8 p.m. hour in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/no-spike-in-florida-coronavirus-cases-despite-no-mask-mandate\/\" title=\"No Spike in Florida Coronavirus Cases Despite No Mask Mandate\">recent weeks<\/a>.&#8221; While the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fox-news-panics-demotes-maccallum-as-newsmax-rises\/\" title=\"Fox News Panics, Demotes MacCallum as Newsmax Rises\">viewership numbers<\/a> have boosted CNN, the network&#8217;s anchors aren&#8217;t so happy.
