We know, it’s been a long election season. As it comes to a close, we wanted to take a look back on the defining moments of the past year and a half.
Facebook released information on the top 10 moments that drew the most conversation between March 23, 2015 and November 1, 2016.
During that time, 128 million people across the country had 8.8 billion interactions about the election, including likes, posts, comments and shares.
Republican candidate Donald Trump drew the largest share, with 67 million people talking about him and 1.14 billion interactions related to him. His two most popular Facebook posts were: a live video of the third presidential debate and a photo from Cinco de Mayo of him eating a taco bowl from Trump Tower.
Hillary Clinton followed with 59 million unique people contributing to the conversation 934 million times. Her top Facebook posts were two picture posts of the candidate from right after the third and first presidential debates asking fans to “share” if they were proud of her performance.
