(Reuters) - An estimated 19.4 million people watched the second night of the mostly virtual Republican National Convention on Tuesday, according to Nielsen, slightly more than the 19.2 million viewers for the second night of last week's Democratic convention.
The RNC number reflects the audience across 11 TV networks between 10 p.m and 11:15 p.m. EDT. It does not include online and streaming viewers. The first night of the RNC attracted 17 million viewers across 11 TV networks, a 26% decline from the same night in 2016.
