A Trump Backlash Endangers Susan Collins in the Maine Senate Race
The race in Maine, which could decide Senate control, is testing whether there is still room for Ms. Collins’s brand of moderation during a sharply polarizing presidency.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets center Ossoff’s denial that he is running for president, with NBC framing it as a debate line and Politico as his latest and strongest rejection of 2028 rumors. Politico alone adds that he committed to serving a full six-year term if he wins in November. NBC alone places the remark in a heated Georgia Senate debate.
