What the coverage shows

The coverage converges on Tuesday voting as a test of Trump and control of Congress, with BBC News, The Guardian US and the Los Angeles Times making that framing explicit. Several outlets focus on Trump’s own role in the campaign: the New York Times, 60 Minutes and The Hill all highlight his final message at the Reflecting Pool, while CNBC is alone in foregrounding lawsuits and state pushback. The Independent splits its attention between a live election update and a separate item on Tina Peters and a reported “near-Martial Law” move.
