Trump promotes tariffs, tries to shore up support for Ken Paxton in Texas
President Trump has launched a campaign blitz for Republicans in the run-up to the midterm elections, with some unexpected early stops in deep-red Oklahoma and Texas. Nancy Cordes reports from Denton, Texas.
What the coverage shows
All four outlets center on the same basic pair of beats: Trump backing Ken Paxton while Paxton is shown criticizing the GOP convention and Trump’s effect on the race. CBS News and Breaking Points foreground the leaked audio and its impact on GOP numbers, while Newsweek and The Independent emphasize Trump’s own insults, with The Independent alone adding that he spent both convention days complaining about Paxton’s fashion sense.
