The Hill
What the coverage shows
Both outlets focus on Trump’s Kansas stop as a sign that the state’s Senate race has become unexpectedly competitive heading into the midterms. CNN frames the story as Kansas emerging as a surprise battleground, while The Hill presents it as a live rally aimed at shoring up support for Sen. Roger Marshall; The Hill’s extract is the only one that explicitly names Marshall and the challenger, Adam Hami.
