The first televised interview with Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris and her vp pick, Tim Walz, drew a sizable audience for CNN Thursday night.

The 45-minute interview with anchor Dana Bash drew just under 6 million viewers (5.99 million, to be precise), based on fast national ratings from Nielsen. That number will likely go up a bit when final national ratings, which include out of home viewing, are released later today.

The nearly 6 million viewers is CNN’s best performance in the 9 p.m. ET hour since more than 9.5 million people tuned in for the June 27 debate between President Joe Biden and Republican nominee Donald Trump. Biden’s performance in that debate, and the fallout from it, helped lead to his decision not to seek re-election and endorse Vice President Harris to lead the ticket; she officially became the Democratic nominee earlier this month.

More to come.
