What the coverage shows

All three outlets center on Trump’s midterm rally schedule, with CNN and PBS NewsHour both presenting a live North Carolina appearance and the New York Times placing it in a broader swing through red states. The Times is the only one to foreground concern about GOP voter enthusiasm and to name South Carolina and Kansas as part of the route. CNN’s extract is focused on the live event stream, while PBS NewsHour’s headline is brief and purely descriptive.
