Americans relied on Fox News Digital for information and analysis during the second quarter of 2024, helping it finish as the No. 1 news organization in both multiplatform minutes and multiplatform views during a historic three-month period. 

The second quarter saw President Biden begin to face ongoing questions about his mental fitness for office after his debate debacle against former President Trump on June 27.  The quarter also featured Trump’s "hush money" trial and guilty verdict, shocking antisemitism on college campuses across the country, Israel's continuing war with Hamas terrorists and the beginning of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich's trial in Russia on long-debunked espionage charges, among other historic developments.

Along the way, Fox News Digital finished No. 1 in multiplatform minutes with a staggering 9.2 billion. It was the 13th consecutive quarter that Fox News Digital topped all competitive news brands in the category, including CBS News, NBC News, Washington Post, ABC News, The New York Times, Insider and USA Today.
