This year's Army-Navy game took place on November 5th, 2023, and it broke viewership records, drawing in over 9.4 million viewers on CBS—marking its highest ratings since at least 1990. This surpassed the previous record of 8.45 million set back in 1992. The presence of President Trump, along with Vice President-elect JD Vance and Daniel Penny, added an intriguing element to the event, contributing to heightened interest and viewership.
What many find astounding is the backdrop of national healing and revitalization of patriotism that many believe authored this surge in viewership. The notion that significant political figures might attract larger audiences points toward a rekindling of national pride following what some perceive to have been divisive times in American politics.
