What the coverage shows

Reuters and CNN both frame the coverage around Republicans trying to defend a Senate seat they fear could be vulnerable. Reuters focuses on Texas politics and a tight race involving Ken Paxton and Democrat James Talarico, while CNN shifts the race to Kansas and says Roger Marshall is the incumbent facing challenger Adam Hamilton. The only outlet-specific detail in the extracts is CNN’s note that Manu Raju traveled to Kansas to speak with both candidates.
