What the coverage shows
Reuters’ two live updates are narrowly framed around the mechanics of the midterm vote and the stakes for control of Congress, repeating that all House seats, a third of Senate seats and many governor races are in play. The Independent’s coverage is different, centring on a prediction-led angle and, in its extract, uniquely mentioning that more than $1.6 billion in bets have been placed this year.
