"Cenk, are you hiring? Because I need a job." Dan Osborn's question comes late in a conversation largely devoted to the difficult business of running outside the two major parties.
Joining Cenk Uygur by video from a garage, the former Nebraska Senate candidate looks back on his race against Republican incumbent Pete Ricketts. Osborn, a labor union leader, makes working-class representation central to his explanation of why he ran. When Uygur asks whether the independent label hurt his chances, Osborn defends the choice: "if I was a Democrat, I would have ran as a Democrat".
The interview also gives Osborn room to describe what he says were efforts to infiltrate his campaign, secretly record private moments and misrepresent them. Uygur presses the broader question of whether outsiders can find a path through expensive campaigns. By the end, Osborn says he remains passionate about helping people, even as he considers his next job.
This was TYT's The Conversation's only new upload of the week, drawing roughly 800 views in its first day. It is also the channel's busiest video right now. Older interviews with documentary filmmaker Dion Nissenbaum about AIPAC and Nina Turner about Democratic leadership continue to attract smaller audiences.
Subscribers remained unchanged, while the channel added about 18,000 views across the week. Its present daily viewing is well below its usual level. Nearby commentary channels Jay Black and The Mark Dolan Show had much busier viewing weeks; here, the schedule made room for a single, extended campaign debrief.
An independent politician and labor union leader from Nebraska, Osborn is also a veteran of the US Navy and Nebraska Army National Guard.
