Overview
President Donald Trump's second inauguration attracted 24.6 million viewers, marking a 27% decrease from Joe Biden's 2021 event and nearly 20% from Trump's first in 2017. Viewership varied across networks, with Fox News leading at 10.3 million during Trump's swearing-in. This is the lowest audience for an inaugural ceremony since Barack Obama's second inauguration in 2013. Factors like longer coverage times may have affected these ratings, and the demographics showed a decline in younger viewers compared to past events.
