Trump is going to focus on own legacy for remainder of term if Democrats win big in the midterms, GOP insiders say

The president’s post-election plans include pushing forward with his major construction projects in the nation’s capital

The Hill

What the coverage shows

The New York Times is the only outlet to foreground Trump’s comments about possible pardons for allies and the prospect of investigations if Democrats win Congress. Newsweek shifts the focus to impeachment scenarios tied to a Democratic House, while The Independent turns to a Senate poll tracker and the size of the Democratic seat gain needed. The Atlantic frames the story more broadly and provocatively, with only its headline suggesting Trump may be acting against his party’s interests.
