Maine Has Changed. Susan Collins Hasn’t.

What the coverage shows

The two outlets converge on Susan Collins as the focus and on Maine as the frame for the race. NBC News centers the item on Steve Kornacki’s analysis and broad battleground-state context, while The Atlantic is the only one to foreground a direct claim that Maine has changed and that Collins has not, casting her as trying to defy the odds again.
