Trump, Obama hold rallies ahead of midterms
President Trump is holding several rallies, including in deep-red states, in the week before the midterm as he tries to keep his party in control of Congress. Former President Barack Obama is also headlining events, hoping to help flip control to the Democrats.
What the coverage shows
All five outlets frame the story as a pair of competing midterm appearances by Trump and Obama, with the New York Times explicitly calling them “dueling” speeches and CBS and The Hill stressing the final campaign push. CBS is the most direct about the electoral stakes, while BBC News alone casts the coverage as a question about whether either man can sway voters. 60 Minutes is the only outlet to foreground outside strategists analyzing their rhetoric.
