Almost 20 million television viewers tuned in to watch the ninth Democratic debate on Wednesday, according to Nielsen Fast National Data.
It was the first debate to feature former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg.
Six rivals — Bloomberg, former Vice President Joe Biden, Sens. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., and former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg — spent two hours Wednesday night duking it out at the Paris Las Vegas Hotel Casino.
