Did Trump just lose it in Texas? | The News Agents
Jon Sopel and Lewis Goodall have a campaign-rally question to work through: is Donald Trump's approach helping Republicans, or making their midterm prospects harder? Their Texas discussion became The News Agents' most watched new upload, reaching roughly 230,000 views.
"Did Trump just lose it in Texas? | The News Agents" takes its cue from a rally interrupted by hecklers. The episode's description presents the visit as Trump's third trip to the state that month, and Jon and Lewis examine whether his campaigning reflects mounting electoral pressure. Emily Maitlis then shifts the conversation to an interview with American journalist Evan Gershkovich.
That American focus runs through a busy batch of fifteen uploads. A separate episode examines Trump's remarks about Iran and California, with Miles Taylor joining for a discussion about the closure of a government biosecurity department. Back in British politics, Kemi Badenoch's conference speech and her criticism of Reform get their own episode, followed by an examination of the Greens' by-election setback and questions about Polanski's leadership.
The Texas episode is also attracting the most daily views right now. The newer Polanski discussion is next, making British electoral politics another active part of the channel's viewing.
Among similarly sized commentary channels, Pivot had a very similar weekly views gain, while Pod Save the World had a quieter week. The News Agents added about 1,000 subscribers over seven days, although its current daily viewing is below its usual pace: a growing subscriber audience alongside a slower day-to-day flow of views.
