"60 Minutes enjoyed its highest-rated show in more than four years on Sunday, thanks to its new interview with President Donald Trump. The episode pulled in 13.2 million viewers, according to Axios, the first outlet to report the bombshell numbers on Tuesday, based on an early look at Nielsen data. And perhaps a bit ironically, that was the most viewers 60 Minutes scored since its Jan. 10, 2021 episode, which came just a few days after the Jan. 6 Capitol Riot."
"Ratings for Sunday's episode on CBS, which featured correspondent Norah O'Donnell interviewing the president, were up some 19% week-over-week. The Sunday episode also benefited from airing right after a big Kansas City Chiefs-Buffalo Bills game on CBS. There were a number of notable moments from the president's interview, including Trump saying ICE has not gone far enough with deporting illegal immigrants. The president also discussed his relationship with Chinese leader Xi Jinping."

The episode aired after the Kansas City Chiefs-Buffalo Bills game, which helped viewership. The interview included comments on ICE deportations and Trump's relationship with Xi Jinping. Several standout moments were edited out, including Trump threatening to walk out and praising Bari Weiss and David Ellison. The interview followed a lawsuit Trump filed against the program over its editing of a Kamala Harris interview.
