A recent television event featured a speech by President Donald Trump at the Republican Party's midterm convention. The same evening, the NFL season opener between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots aired. According to available data, the NFL game drew over 25 million viewers, while Trump's speech reached around 3 million viewers.

President Trump had already claimed victory for the convention and his speech before the audience numbers were released. He stated that the overall numbers surpassed those of the NFL, despite the actual data indicating otherwise.

Further details about the events and viewership numbers are available from the source, including the initial report by Brian Stelter.
