James Talarico touts record fundraising haul in Texas Senate race

What the coverage shows

Most outlets converge on Trump and Republican blame politics, but the framing splits by race and target. Politico, Axios and CNBC focus on Texas, with CNBC and Axios naming John Cornyn and Karl Rove as Trump’s scapegoats, while Politico says Trump singled them out as Ken Paxton appears to be in a tight race with James Talarico. Fox News and the Associated Press are the outliers, each focusing on Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan; Fox highlights Trump’s attack on El-Sayed as a “con man,” while AP says Republicans are going after his name as well as his views.
