0:00Linskey introduces her hometown of Greenwich as a center of affluent political donors.
3:12Republican Fred Camillo discusses governing a town increasingly supporting Democratic candidates.
4:32Amy Goodfriend calls for political moderation and voices concern about the national wealth gap.
6:02Scott McLean explains how Trump's rise divided traditional suburban conservatism.
8:41The report examines Greenwich's campaign contributions and their preference for moderate candidates.
11:07Tom Foley argues that personal wealth can let candidates finance their own path to office.

Annie Linskey takes a boat past Greenwich's waterfront estates, including Donald and Ivana Trump's former home, then brings the conversation back to political power. Her hometown is a place where candidates come looking for campaign money. What do the people writing those checks want?

That question anchors The Wall Street Journal's most-watched upload of the week, "Trump Remade the GOP. How Do the Ultrarich Feel? | WSJ," with about 360,000 views. Part of Rooted In, the series sending reporters home ahead of the midterms, it pairs Linskey's local perspective with interviews about a town's changing allegiances.

Republican First Selectman Fred Camillo discusses serving a community increasingly voting Democratic. Business executive Amy Goodfriend calls for moderation and raises the wealth gap; political scientist Scott McLean explains the tension between traditional suburban conservatism and Trump. The report moves beyond waterfront property to examine who funds candidates and what that money can do.

Across thirteen uploads, the week also stretched into consumer technology and infrastructure. Nicole Nguyen's weeklong iPhone Duo test weighs a pocket-sized folding screen against its tradeoffs. The California high-speed rail explainer, posted just hours before the week's close, already has the channel's strongest daily viewing momentum, followed by the Driscoll's blueberry report and Nguyen's review.

The channel added roughly 8.8 million views over seven days, with subscribers growing too. Daily viewing is now more than triple its usual level. Among nearby broadcasters, CBS News had a substantially larger week, while 60 Minutes Australia drew a similar weekly total to WSJ. For WSJ, the freshest burst of attention is coming from California's unfinished railway.
