Trump’s rescue mission to deep red South Carolina
President Trump made a last-minute stop to South Carolina to boost Republican candidate Darline Graham. NBC News’ Garrett Haake reports.
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.
