Trump, Obama hold rallies ahead of midterms
President Trump is holding several rallies, including in deep-red states, in the week before the midterm as he tries to keep his party in control of Congress. Former President Barack Obama is also headlining events, hoping to help flip control to the Democrats.
CNN
What the coverage shows
All five outlets frame the story as Trump and Obama campaigning in the closing days before the midterms, with CBS News and The Hill emphasizing rally stops and PBS NewsHour offering live coverage of Trump in Texas. The main divergence is in angle: Al Jazeera foregrounds national polling and says Democrats lead, while Newsweek centers a comparison of Obama and Trump’s favorability ratings. The Hill’s extract is the only one that specifies Obama’s Atlanta visit and the candidates it is meant to help.
