El-Sayed's victory speech gives MoveOn a new Senate greeting
The Michigan senator-elect's message to Trump anchors two post-election uploads, alongside a mass call with the Working Families Party.
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.
Democrats Win Bigly
What should Donald Trump call Abdul El-Sayed if his name proves difficult? The Michigan senator-elect has a suggestion: "So after JD swears me in in January, you could just go on and call me 'Senator.'"
That opening joke sets up MoveOn's most-watched new upload, "Democrats Win Bigly." From the podium, El-Sayed moves quickly to the cost of groceries, gas, housing and healthcare. He criticizes spending on foreign conflicts rather than domestic needs, then leads the crowd in calls to get money out of politics and pass Medicare for All. The progressive advocacy organization's clip has drawn roughly 13,000 views.
MoveOn's other upload, "After the Vote – Post-Election Mass Call," brings the organization together with the Working Families Party after the election. It drew a much smaller audience than the victory speech.
But El-Sayed's earlier appearances are doing more of the daily viewing work. "He STUNS the Fox Anchor," an exchange about capitalism and socialism posted before the election, has passed a million views and remains the channel's strongest daily draw. His pre-election question, "Have the last 2 years been good for you?", is also attracting more daily views than either new upload.
MoveOn added subscribers over the week, though its current daily viewing is below its usual level. The week's subscriber gain accounts for half its growth over the past month: a modest expansion during a posting week that moved El-Sayed's story from asking for votes to thanking Michigan.
