Democrats jump into Mississippi Senate race

Senate Democrats’ top super PAC announced Tuesday it is launching a new ad campaign in the Mississippi Senate race, as Democrats seek inroads in Republican-leaning states to try to flip the Senate majority.

What the coverage shows

The two outlets diverge sharply in framing: the Los Angeles Times leads on a tight Texas Senate race and says Trump’s immigration crackdown is testing Republicans’ hold on voters, while the New York Times generalizes to Senate races nationwide and says Republicans are vastly outspending Democrats on ads. Both extracts treat campaign money as central, but only the Los Angeles Times names the Texas candidates and says total ad spending has topped $500 million.
