Trump uncancels weekend rallies in Iowa and Kansas with Senate control at stake
Senate races in both states are considered toss-ups and could be key in either party’s path to control of Congress.
What the coverage shows
All six outlets cover Trump’s Kansas and Iowa rally plans being changed, with most emphasizing the cancel and then reversal in short order. NBC News and CNBC frame the story around the events being back on, CBS News uses the cancellation and a reporter confrontation, and The Independent uniquely says the reversal followed a reporter question about his health. The New York Times headline is the least specific, simply saying he will go to Kansas and Iowa before Election Day.
