CNN was the top cable news network in Tuesday primetime according to numbers released on Wednesday.
The network was first in the key demo during primetime, securing 829,000 viewers in the adult 25-54 demographic. MSNBC clocked in with 466,000, while Fox News managed 458,000 during the same period.
Fox News was first in total viewers, however, with 2.53 million compared to CNN’s 2.41 million. MSNBC finished behind both networks with 2 million viewers.
On Tuesday, Hillary Clinton won four of the six state primaries: New Jersey, New Mexico, South Dakota and California, the last of which offered the most delegates. Barring an extraordinary development, Clinton will face off against presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump in the general election in November.
“Tonight’s victory is not about one person, it belongs to generations of women and men who struggled and sacrificed and made this moment possible,” Clinton said during her victory speech. Clinton also used the occasion to take another swipe at Trump.
“When he says, ‘Lets make America great again,’ that’s code for ‘lets take America backwards,” Clinton said. “Back to a time when opportunity and dignity were reserved for some, not all.”
Bernie Sanders, however, has vowed to stay in the race despite Clinton having more than enough delegates to secure the nomination.
“The struggle continues,” Sanders told supporters the same night.”Next Tuesday, we continue the fight in the last primary in Washington D.C. Then we take our fight to Philadelphia.”
