A record low number of viewers viewed Joe Biden’s speech to a sparsely populated group in Congress last night. The first report on viewership showed just over 11 million viewers, according to Yahoo News, and the second number over 7 networks was 22.6 million viewers. Ouch!
And this guy got 81 million votes? No way!
Comparing numbers from President Trump’s years in office makes the numbers even more glaringly bad:
Joint Session Address ratings:
TRUMP 2017— 48M
TRUMP 2018— 46M
TRUMP 2019— 46.8M
TRUMP 2020— 37.2M
BIDEN 2021— 11.6M— Benny (@bennyjohnson) April 29, 2021
President Trump had 48 million viewers watching his first Joint Session speech!
Benny made a great point. Where are all these Biden supporters???
You'd think some of those +80 million Biden voters* would have showed up to listen to the most popular president in history give his first big speech.
Incredible how these 80 million Americans* never show on ratings, rallies, YouTube live feeds, boat parades, whatever
Ya there?

Another measure of Biden’s popularity was showing last night when the ‘dislikes’ outnumbered the ‘likes’ on the YouTube video of Biden’s speech:
