Trump campaigns in South Carolina as Senate race is surprisingly close

The Hill
What the coverage shows
The coverage converges on a set of very tight Senate races, but the outlets split on which states they foreground. Fox News leads with Maine, Texas, Michigan and Kansas and says Democrats are ahead in all four, while The Hill focuses on narrow Democratic leads in Kansas and Maine and the margin of error. The Guardian US and CBS News instead single out South Carolina as unexpectedly close, and Vox is the only outlet here to frame the Texas race on its own.
