Donald Trump’s second inauguration drew significantly fewer viewers (24.6 million) than Joe Biden’s 2021 inauguration (33.8 million), marking the lowest viewership for an incoming president since 1969. Fox News dominated coverage, attracting the most viewers, while CNN and MSNBC saw record-low viewership. Trump’s ceremony also paled in comparison to Obama’s first inauguration in 2009 which drew over 51 million viewers. This lower viewership aligns with historical trends showing decreased viewership for second-term inaugurations.
