What the coverage shows
Both outlets frame the story as a condemnation of Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign ad, with The Atlantic calling it “appalling” and saying it has drawn criticism from both right and left, while The Guardian US foregrounds Nancy Mace’s description of it as “shameful, disgusting” and “the most shameful, disgusting, offensive ad this election season.” The Guardian’s extract also places the item in a live US politics roundup, whereas The Atlantic centers the ad itself and the cross-partisan backlash.
