What the coverage shows

The coverage converges on Democrat Annie Andrews defeating Republican Darline Graham and on the seat flipping to Democrats, with CBS News, PBS NewsHour and The Guardian US all using that framing. The New York Times twice calls it a major surprise, and The Hill alone adds the “stunning” language in its headline and a separate victory-rally clip. Only the Associated Press extract highlights Andrews as the first woman elected to represent South Carolina in the U.S. Senate.
