What the coverage shows
All the outlets frame the story as Democrats taking control of Congress, with several emphasizing this as a rebuke to Trump. The Los Angeles Times, Guardian, New York Times and CBS News focus on the political check this gives Democrats, while BBC News and CNBC shift to what the new power means in practice, and CNBC is the only one to foreground personal finance effects. The New York Times also runs a separate piece, “Trump Wanted Democrats to Win,” which adds a more interpretive take not matched in the other extracts.
