As Trump Faces Down the Midterms, a Grim Mood Takes Over the White House
The White House has been rocked by turnover and anxiety over the midterms. The president, who is tightening his inner circle, has lashed out at critics, held meandering rallies and feasted on a diet of news clips and “A.I. slop,” as one aide put it.
PBS NewsHour
What the coverage shows
Only the New York Times directly frames the story as a bleak White House mood around the midterms, with turnover, anxiety and Trump tightening his circle. CBS News and ABC News instead center on Obama’s remarks and the Trump administration’s response to the “Cheesecake Factory” jab, while PBS NewsHour is only a live notice about a Halloween celebration at the White House. The Independent is the outlier, focusing on a trial date in a separate criminal case rather than the midterms framing.
