Americans head to the polls to vote in critical midterm elections – video

What the coverage shows

All five outlets frame the midterms as a national test of Trump, with Reuters and The Guardian US most explicit about a verdict or referendum on his second term. France 24 adds the early-voting angle and notes polls open in dozens of states, while 60 Minutes is the only one to foreground Democratic messaging on gas prices, affordability and Trump’s low approval. Axios is the only outlet in this set to frame the night through polls closing and says the results will be the clearest national test of Trump’s second presidency.
