ABC’s Monday airing of David Muir’s Mike Pence interview brought in 4 million viewers just a day ahead of Trump’s expected announcement for a 2024 presidential run, according to Nielsen’s live plus same-day figures.
The interview, in which Muir pressed the former vice president on his response during the Jan. 6 Capitol riots and asked Pence if he thinks Trump should be president again, received over double the total viewership of “On the Road to the CMA Awards,” which drew in 1.4 million total viewers when aired in the same time slot on ABC last week, and earned the highest total viewership for ABC during Monday’s primetime.
