Fox draws nearly 2.6 million viewers for Bernie Sanders town hall
An estimated 2.55 million people saw Sanders' town hall Monday in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, the Nielsen company said. Not only did that beat the 1.35 million people who saw Sanders on CNN on Feb. 25, the Fox telecast aired before prime time when traditionally the largest audience gathers.
The Vermont senator also apparently had one prominent viewer in Washington. President Donald Trump tweeted on Tuesday that it was"so weird to watch Crazy Bernie" on Fox News. He said Bret Baier, who co-anchored the event with Martha MacCallum, and the audience was"so smiley and nice." "We cover all sides," Baier said. While Trump is a frequent interview subject on Fox, he tends to avoid newsier personalities like Baier and Chris Wallace.
"We are very grateful that you're here," Baier said."We are giving you an hour of substance and talk on our airwaves so we can get over the Fox thing, if you're alright with that," he said.Democratic National Committee head Tom Perez said earlier Monday that the organization was not reconsidering its decision in February not to hold any of its upcoming debates on the network.
