U.S. midterm elections in pictures: Democrats' sweeping victories deliver rebuke to Trump
Democrats scored sweeping victories in the U.S. midterm elections on Wednesday, flipping key Republican-held seats in Congress.
Fox News
What the coverage shows
Both outlets frame the story as a Democratic win and a setback for Donald Trump, but they differ in emphasis. The Economist generalises the result as “a landslide for Democrats” and “a rebuke to Donald Trump,” with its extract adding that Republicans face “a tumultuous new era.” BBC News alone foregrounds Chris Pappas’s Senate victory speech and his criticism of Elon Musk and Trump.
