The 90-minute face-off triggered widespread criticism of Trump and, to a lesser extent, Biden. Biden’s campaign raised nearly $10 million during the debate, a campaign aide said, adding to the Democrat’s financial advantage with five weeks to go until the Nov 3 election. Also on Wednesday, Trump attempted to distance himself from the right-wing “Proud Boys” group after declining to denounce white supremacists during the debate. “Chris had a tough night,” Trump posted on Wednesday morning on Twitter, calling the debate a “two on one” fight. An estimated 28.7 million people tuned in on broadcast networks ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox, below the roughly 45 million viewers who watched Trump debate former first lady Hillary Clinton on those channels in 2016.
