One social media user compiled viewership statistics from across platforms, claiming the video has already amassed more than 10 million views, significantly surpassing the show’s typical television audience of around two million per episode.

In the Democratic primary, Talarico is facing Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, who has drawn criticism from many Americans for her continued support of Israel despite the carnage in Gaza. She voted to send "$14B more in weapons after it had killed 34,000+ Palestinians". Crocket visited Israel as part of a congressional trip in August of 2023.
