Trial date set for man accused of trying to kill Trump at White House correspondents’ dinner

The suspect railed against Trump before the shooting and referred to himself as a ‘Friendly Federal Assassin’

PBS NewsHour

What the coverage shows

Most outlets focus on the campaign trail sparring between Obama and Trump, with ABC News and The Hill explicitly foregrounding their jabs over White House renovations and midterm messaging. The New York Times shifts the emphasis to Trump and the White House mood, while PBS NewsHour is separate from the others with a live item on a Halloween celebration at the White House. The Guardian US is the only outlet in this set to frame the item as a photos roundup, and Ben Shapiro adds a broader campaign and foreign-policy angle that the others do not.
