Trump loses control of Congress

Democrats have made historic gains in the US midterms, dealing a major setback to President Donald Trump.

CBS News

What the coverage shows

ABC News and the New York Times both frame the story as a major Democratic victory, with ABC emphasizing the projected return of House and Senate control and a string of Republican-held seat flips across several states. The New York Times uses the broader, more metaphorical headline “Big Blue Bludgeoning” and says only that the midterm victory reshapes the political landscape. The main difference is that ABC supplies specific electoral gains, while the Times extract stays general.
