About 18.1 million viewers tuned in for the debate across three TV channels — NBC, MSNBC and Telemundo — according to Nielsen data.The previous record for a Democratic debate was set in October 2015, when 15.5 million viewers tuned in to CNN for the first primary season debate between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. Part one of this week's two-part event, designed to accommodate 20 candidates, averaged 15.3 million viewers on Wednesday night.
