DOJ Charges 28 California Residents With Voting-Related Crimes Amid Trump’s Voter Fraud Push
The effort by the Trump administration comes as it wages a broader fight with California officials over voter rolls.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets center on broad public pessimism, with NBC News giving the exact poll figure of 71% saying the country is on the wrong track and CBS News framing the same mood as concern that the U.S. economy is on the wrong track. NBC uniquely adds political context about Trump and Democrats’ progress in red states, while CBS uniquely emphasizes rising costs and Americans feeling economic pain.
