Democracy Now!
What the coverage shows
The Independent is the only outlet here to frame the story around early voting, saying turnout has already outpaced the last midterm and noting confusion from changes to Trump’s campaign schedule. CNN instead focuses on a final data forecast from Harry Enten for House, Senate and gubernatorial races, while PBS NewsHour and Democracy Now! are both promoting live or special election-night coverage rather than reporting the same news angle.
