Protesters ejected from raucous Trump rally in Texas
Several hecklers were removed from President Trump's rally in Texas late Wednesday, drawing jeers from the crowd as the president made fun of the protesters.
What the coverage shows
Most outlets frame the story as Trump’s Texas appearance in the context of an increasingly difficult midterm environment, with The Hill, Washington Post, 60 Minutes and Newsweek all emphasizing Republican worries and Paxton’s Senate race. CBS News and NBC News are the only ones foregrounding the rally disruption itself: CBS says several hecklers were ejected from a raucous rally, while NBC says a protester was briefly grabbed by an audience member. The Independent is the outlier, using the Texas trip to focus on Trump and Paxton’s broader awkwardness and leaked audio instead.
