What the coverage shows

Both outlets center the Justice Department probe into claims of a spoiler candidate in Alaska, but they frame it differently. The Associated Press foregrounds Mary Peltola’s denial that she knew anything about the effort, while CNN leads with the broader investigation itself and, in its extract, mentions an alleged Democratic scheme to recruit a spoiler candidate.
