So @AOC's stream is obviously a get out the vote event, but I've spoken to plenty of campaigns that have used the platform to reach voters. I wasn't able to write about it, but @JessforDelaware told me that her staff made a bot so ActBlue donations could appear on the screen.

Looks like the stream peaked at around 430,000 concurrent viewers. It likely won't achieve the most watched of all time, but definitely secures AOC a high-ranking spot.

The stream has been going on for ~2 hours. We're sitting at around 340,000 viewers still. Not quite peak, but still a very significant amount.
