Trump compares hecklers at North Carolina rally to rioters in Paris
Trump also went on a bizarre tangent about his daughter-in-law Lara Trump’s body while in Greenville Tuesday night
What the coverage shows
The coverage converges on Trump’s North Carolina rally and its role in the midterm campaign, with CBS outlets and PBS framing it mainly as GOP campaigning and ABC pairing it with separate Ohio-election coverage. The Independent is the only outlet here to foreground the hecklers comparison in its headline, while Breaking Points and Fox News use the event more broadly to frame Republican or Trump political weakness rather than the rally itself.
