President Donald Trump claimed a ratings victory for the Republican Party's midterm convention. However, available data tells a different story. A significant number of people watched the NFL's season kickoff game, with viewership exceeding 25 million.

In contrast, Trump's speech had a much smaller audience, with around 3 million viewers tuning in. The president made his claim before official numbers were released, making it difficult to verify at the time.

Further information on the events and viewership numbers can be found through the original source, which provides more details on the discrepancy between Trump's claim and the actual ratings.
