PBS NewsHour
What the coverage shows
All four outlets lead with Troy Jackson defeating Susan Collins, and CBS News, NBC News and The Guardian US all frame the result as a Senate upset against a longtime Republican incumbent. Newsweek is the only one to add that the race had been expected to be one of the closest midterm contests. NBC News alone also foregrounds the result as padding Democrats’ majority, while The Guardian US uniquely describes it as a blow to Republicans and a hard-fought contest.
