Fiorentini's post-midterm week moves from celebration to policy
Krystal Ball and David Dayen join discussions of economic populism, Democratic leadership and changing how America elects its president.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are not the ones
Celebration comes with conditions. Across fifteen new uploads, Francesca Fiorentini turns Democratic midterm gains into a question about what the party should actually do with power.
The week's most watched upload, "Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are not the ones", distills her dissatisfaction into a short commentary. She questions Jeffries' economic agenda and argues that both congressional leaders lag behind the policies progressive voters want. A separate discussion with Breaking Points co-host Krystal Ball gives that leadership argument more room, while "Economic Populism Gave Us Bluenami" makes their case that working-class economic proposals helped Democrats win.
The conversation also reaches beyond who gets the leadership jobs. With The American Prospect's David Dayen, Fiorentini explores whether states could use the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact to change the presidential election system. That upload is among the channel's busiest videos right now, alongside "Schumer Swears He Can Do This" and her criticism of Stephen Miller's elevation to White House chief of staff.
The channel collected roughly 821,000 views and added 2,000 subscribers over the week, accounting for half its subscriber growth over the past month. Daily views are currently a little below their usual pace. Nearby in size, Dave Neal and Anthony Scaramucci both drew larger weekly audiences.
For Fiorentini, the freshest attention is gathering around the follow-up questions: whether Schumer should remain in charge, and whether Democratic gains in the states could change presidential elections.
