What the coverage shows
All five outlets converge on Pappas’s victory in New Hampshire and on the seat remaining in Democratic hands, with NBC News, CBS News and Axios all explicitly framing it as a win over John Sununu. The Guardian and Axios are the only outlets here that foreground the “first openly gay” angle in their coverage, while the New York Times is alone in adding a broader note about L.G.B.T.Q. rights facing pushback in some states.
