Americans aren’t paying attention to Joe Biden.
According to a Fox News report, President Biden’s State of the Union address had the second-smallest ratings for a SOTU in decades; only 27.3 million people watched Biden’s speech.
The lowest rated State of the Union since 1993. Yikes.
From Fox News:
An estimated 27.3 million people tuned into a television network for the president’s address, which was down nearly 28% from the 38.2 million who watched last year.
Since 1993, the only audience smaller than Tuesday nights was recorded in 2021 when 26.9 million people watched Biden address Congress on April 28.
The speech, was delivered unusually late due to precautions associated with the coronavirus pandemic, was not officially a State of the Union address since he had just taken office a few months earlier.
