An estimated 43.15 million viewers tuned in to the CBS News vice presidential debate this year, according to Nielsen, a media analytics company. The debate was held at the CBS Broadcast Center in New York City, and aired across more than a dozen stations.

On Tuesday, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) faced off in a vice-presidential debate for what could be the last time that Americans hear from either presidential ticket on the debate stage before Election Day.

Four years ago, 57 million tuned in to the only vice presidential debate of the 2020 election cycle between Harris and then-Vice President Mike Pence. In 2008, a record 69.9 million watched Joe Biden and Sarah Palin face off on television in the most-watched VP debate, according to Nielsen.
