Trump: U.S. won't attack Iran before midterms

What the coverage shows

Most outlets converge on California leaders condemning Trump’s remark and on the “take out” wording itself, with several quoting Newsom calling it “deranged” or “dangerous.” Axios and BBC News stand out for also foregrounding White House pushback, while The Guardian US adds a separate angle on state monitoring for possible threats. Only the second Guardian extract centers residents’ reaction, and the New York Times later adds a framing about exactly what Trump meant.
