Sunday shows preview: Trump boosts midterm candidates in final stretch; Supreme Court opens new term
With a month until the midterm elections, President Trump is hitting the campaign trail in an effort to ramp up voter turnout across traditionally red states, as rising costs and a deeply unpopular Iran war leave the GOP scrambling to protect its majority in Congress.
What the coverage shows
The coverage converges on the Supreme Court and Trump’s relationship with it, but the framing splits sharply. The Independent is the only outlet to foreground Alito’s reported consideration of retirement and the possibility of another Trump nomination, while NBC News instead leads on Trump clashing with the court as a new term begins. Newsweek splits its coverage between Alito’s comments about losing friendships over court decisions and a separate piece ranking justices by perceived disloyalty to Trump.
