The Fox Business Network debate was watched by 13.5 million viewers, making it the least watched debate yet, though those numbers fall in line with the trend of declining viewership for debates.
Though this number pales in comparison to previous debates' audiences — 24 million viewers tuned in to the first GOP debate — Tuesday night was still a record-setter for FBN. TV Newser reports that last night's debate viewership "shatters any previous viewership totals" for the network, which has been around for eight years.
