Several hecklers were removed from President Trump's rally in Texas late Wednesday, drawing jeers from the crowd as the president made fun of the protesters.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets center the same basic setup: Trump is heading to Texas while leaked audio and a struggling Senate race put Ken Paxton under pressure. The Independent frames the story as an awkward Trump-Paxton showdown and adds only in its extract that a recent poll shows Paxton trailing by 6 points, while CNN focuses more on the leaked audio itself and, uniquely in its extract, says Paxton blamed the Iran war and fuel prices for his campaign troubles.
