What the coverage shows
The coverage converges on a strong Democratic result and on Trump as the central point of comparison or criticism. The Economist frames it as “A landslide for Democrats” and “a rebuke to Donald Trump,” while Newsweek turns that into a question about Trump’s style of governing. BBC News is the only outlet here to foreground Chris Pappas’s victory speech and to mention Elon Musk alongside Trump.
