What the coverage shows
The coverage does not converge on the same race at all: 60 Minutes is alone in foregrounding CBS News data showing the South Carolina Senate race as leaning Republican. Vox’s three items instead focus on Texas, with one framing the contest as close, one emphasizing campaign coverage, and one highlighting masculinity-themed attacks by Ken Paxton’s side.
