National Guard to Expand Patrols in Washington With Military Vehicles and Boats

The Pentagon said that the decision by Pete Hegseth to widen the patrols was made on Oct. 29, just before a landslide defeat for Republicans in the midterm elections.

What the coverage shows

All three outlets focus on the Pentagon’s authorization to expand the National Guard presence in Washington with boats, Humvees and marked police cars. The Hill and Fox News foreground the hardware list directly, while the New York Times adds that the Pentagon said the decision was made on Oct. 29 and ties that timing to Republicans’ midterm defeat. Only Fox News mentions a council hearing calling for the military presence to be removed.
