Here are the races to watch in the House and Senate as midterm voting wraps
Midterm voting is wrapping up as Americans decide who will represent them in the House and Senate. Ed O'Keefe breaks it down.
What the coverage shows
Most outlets frame the story as Haley Stevens’ endorsement of Republican Mike Rogers as a major jolt in the Michigan Senate race and a setback for Democrat Abdul El-Sayed. Reuters, the AP, BBC, France 24, CNBC, Axios, NBC News, Politico and Fox all emphasize the race impact or the surprise, while CBS and The Hill foreground the party backlash. A few outlets add their own angle: the Guardian, NBC, AP and Fox specifically tie the move to a dispute over campaign events or an antisemitic-ad controversy, and CNN focuses on Stevens defending the switch.
