Trump Delivers a Closing Midterm Message. Mostly About Landscaping.
On the eve of the election, the president held forth in great detail on columns, drain pipes and granite at the newly refilled Reflecting Pool.
What the coverage shows
The coverage splits into two themes: the New York Times is the only outlet here foregrounding Trump’s remark about possible pre-emptive pardons for allies, while its later piece, CNN, and Newsweek all shift to his closing midterms message at the Reflecting Pool. CNN uniquely centers Marjorie Taylor Greene’s criticism of that speech, and The Independent does not discuss Trump’s comments in its extract, instead offering a Senate poll tracker and seat math.
