... remarkably embarrassing for Democrats and hilarious for everyone else, that is.
Actually, the response by the vast majority of Americans was ...
From NBC News:
An estimated 27.3 million people watched President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address on television, the second smallest audience for the annual event in at least 30 years, the Nielsen company said on Wednesday.
It was also down nearly 28% from the 38.2 million people who saw Biden’s address in 2022.
The only smaller audience since 1993 was the 26.9 million who watched Biden’s address to Congress in 2021 — not officially a State of the Union speech, since he had just taken office a few months earlier. That speech was delivered on the unusually late date of April 28.
It certainly appears that regular Americans weren’t nearly as excited to watch Biden’s speech as Dems and the media.
