Biden’s address on Ukraine, Israel gains over 20.3M views

That’s according to Reuters, Ukrinform reports.

This time, the audience was wider than Biden managed to attract in June when he advocated a bipartisan deal to tackle the debt cap crisis. Just 6.2 million viewers watched that address, picked up by two of the major U.S. broadcast networks.

Thursday's numbers were drawn from 10 U.S. networks, including ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox News and NBC.

More than three-quarters of the TV audience was over the age of 55, according to Nielsen.

Fox News attracted the largest cable audience of nearly 3.4 million viewers, beating MSNBC, which had an audience of 2.1 million, and CNN with 1.4 million, according to researchers.

As Ukrinform reported, US President Joe Biden, in a special address to the nation, said the terrorist organization Hamas and Russian President Vladimir Putin share a common desire to annihilate the neighboring democracies.

The White House has released a request to the U.S. Congress for funding a $106 billion aid package, which includes support for Ukraine and funds to respond to the crisis in Israel and cover other pressing needs.
