The biggest political landslide you’ve never heard of

Mr. Beat wears an "UNCAP THE HOUSE" shirt while explaining an election that dramatically changed who occupied it. In "The biggest political landslide you've never heard of," he skips past the more familiar midterm upheavals of 2010 and 1994 and heads back to Grover Cleveland's second, nonconsecutive term.

The Panic of 1893 and the Pullman Strike supply the backdrop. Cleveland and the Democrats took the blame, Mr. Beat explains, before Republicans gained control of both chambers. The short history lesson drew roughly 703,000 views, the largest audience among his three new uploads.

Representation connects the rest of the week. "How many members of Congress are from the working class?" examines who gets into Congress and why so few arrive from working-class backgrounds. It is currently the busiest upload in his daily viewing lineup, followed by the newly posted "Adam Hamilton on Uncapping the House." That interview excerpt brings the Kansas Senate candidate into Mr. Beat's recurring argument about expanding the chamber.

The channel added about 1.9 million views over seven days, with subscribers growing too. Daily viewing is above its usual level, while education peers including Fall of Civilizations and History Time are having quieter days than usual.

Hamilton also appears in the previous week's "What's the matter with Kansas?", which remains an active draw. Between that conversation, House expansion and the working-class explainer, Mr. Beat's congressional questions extend well beyond election results.
