Ted Cruz aims to stack FCC with Republicans before Democrats take Senate control
Cruz and Trump seem to have no plans to fill FCC's empty Democratic seat.
What the coverage shows
All three outlets frame the item around Democrats winning and Trump’s role in the story. The New York Times is the only outlet with the exact framing that Trump wanted Democrats to win, while CBS News emphasizes the House majority and Trump’s approval being at a historic low. The Guardian US similarly leads with Democrats winning control of Congress and adds a separate line about Trump spending weeks pleading with Americans to pretend he was on the ballot.
