Milwaukee residents discuss whether they'll watch the presidential debate and why
Historically, the first debate of the election cycle has the biggest audience.
In 2020, the first debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden had 73 million television viewers, according to Nielsen. That’s about 10 million more viewers than the presidential debate before it.
Ahead of Thursday night’s debate, TMJ4’s Tom Durian wanted to know if people in the Milwaukee area would be watching President Biden and former President Trump face off.
The response was pretty mixed.
“Absolutely not,” said Kristin Gravelle. “It’s too stressful for me. I feel like I’m not a big supporter of either really.”

“I plan on tuning in,” said John Ewing. “I’m actually going to be on the road tomorrow so I won’t see it live but I’ll definitely be watching.”
“Debates have always been a part of my keeping, but this is particularly, I would say, interesting,” added his friend Chris Trost.

Tom asked Nelson Bennet what topics he hopes to hear discussed during the debate.

“Well I am sure its going to bounce up and back — oh he’s a felon, or what about the borders. The country is saddled with certain events, certain situations I hope we get clarity but we’ve got some problems,” Bennet said.
Half the voters Tom talked to said they planned to watch the debate live. Others said they would seek out clips from the debate once it was over.

Milwaukee Wave coach Marcio Leite 2025-26 team’s evolution in MASL
See first-year Milwaukee Wave head coach Marcio Leite discuss the roles of younger players and veterans as the 2025-26 MASL season begins.
The Milwaukee Wave had been in the awkward position of trying to sell tickets to the MASL championship series without knowing when it would actually host a game.
The questions were answered late April 19, when the San Diego Sockers beat the St. Louis Ambush in the other semifinal in overtime. Their series didn’t even start until four days after the Wave eliminated the Baltimore Blast with victories in a regulation Game 2 and knockout Game 3 at the UWM Panther Arena.
Now the finals are set for two of the most decorated teams in arena soccer.
The Wave will host Game 1 at 6:35 p.m. Wednesday, April 22 and then the series will finish at the Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, California, with Game 2 at 9:30 p.m. April 24 and a potential Game 3 at 9 p.m. April 27.
Three versions of the Sockers have totaled 16 championships in various indoor league with the latest iteration founded in 2009 owning six of those. The Wave has seven.
First-year Wave head coach Marcio Leite has won titles with both franchises.
MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Police Department is investigating a shooting that occurred on early Sunday morning on the 4900 block of W. Capitol Drive that left one person injured.
