ABC News senior national correspondent Terry Moran interviewed President Donald Trump in the White House on Tuesday to commemorate his 100th day in office. It was a ratings win for the news network.
President Trump the First 100 Days: The Interview in the Oval Office featured an audience of just under 4 million viewers on Tuesday evening. The primetime special was the top-rated non-sports program in all of television on that night.
Included in the 3.959 million viewers were 693,000 viewers from the Adults 25-54 demographic.
The news special was the highest audience in the 8-9 PM ET timeslot for ABC News since February 18th.
Headlines were created by the interview, as President Donald Trump and Terry Moran clashed over questions, especially related to the deported accused MS-13 gang member who was wrongly deported to El Salvador.
During a line of questioning, Trump revealed he had hand-selected Moran for the discussion.
“Terry, you can’t do that,” Trump said. “Hey, they’re giving you the big break of a lifetime. You know, you’re doing the interview because I picked you because — frankly — I’d never heard of you. But that’s ok. I picked you. But Terry, you’re not being very nice.”
