Over 5 million people watched last Thursday’s Fox News prime-time TV debate between Florida’s Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and California’s Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom.
Hosted by Sean Hannity, the “Great Red vs. Blue State Debate” attracted just under 5 million viewers for its live broadcast, followed by an additional 700,000 via a rebroadcast.
